A Delicious Vegetarian Sandwich That Tastes Like a Big Mac!

(Pictures to follow soon!!!)
Over the last few days a new type of vegetarian sandwich has evolved from my daily dinner routine. Tonight I had the revelation that it actually tastes pretty close to a Big Mac (which, as you know, is a trademark of McDonald's Corporation, who undoubtedly reserves all their rights), yet is has none of the same ingredients. Here is the dead simple recipe that you can follow:

Ingredients
  1. One Quorn patty, microwaved for one minute in a paper towel. If you don't know what Quorn is, then you should read about it. (Hint: It's not made out of corn and it's not made from animals.)
  2. One whole wheat wrap (or whatever wrap you prefer, but I prefer whole wheat).
  3. Fresh alfalfa sprouts, about 1.25x the surface area of the Quorn patty, plus a pinch more.
  4. Small slices of fresh dill havarti cheese, just enough to take in its flavourful taste and creamy texture.
  5. Three spoonfuls of a *premium* fruit spread; i.e. Polaner's, Triple Fruits. Basically fruit, sugar (no HFCS), water, pectin. I use an E.D. Smith & Sons, Limited "Triple Fruits" spread with raspberry, strawberry and blackberry.
Directions
  1. Place the wrap on a plate.
  2. Place the alfalfa sprouts on the center of the wrap and distribute them in a round pattern. The pile should not be too thick.
  3. Place the dill havarti slices/slivers upon the sprouts, evenly.
  4. Place the microwaved Quorn patty upon the cheese.
  5. Apply the fruit spread to the Quorn patty evenly.
  6. Fold over the corners of the wrap and enjoy!
I enjoy this with a cup of cranberry/raspberry juice (100% juice) and some kettle cooked chips on the side. You get that "Big Mac" taste when you taste all of the ingredients together. Remember....fresh, quality ingredients are important!
