What if the best “meatball” sandwich you ever tried turned out not to have any meat in it? That’s the goal of Tanya Spasic of Animal Liberation Kitchen – to make vegetarian and vegan meals so delicious that even the most determined of carnivores leaves with a big smile and full belly.

Tanya has been perfecting her veggie meatball recipe, creating the perfect “bounce”, rich texture and big flavour, and the result is a fantastically tasty sandwich that’s secretly really good for you — and kids love it too!

Her sandwich features her signature vegetarian “cheatballs” with roasted peppers, caramelized onions, chipotle mayo and arugula on a toasted ciabatta bun, served alongside a salad of baby arugula, mixed greens, walnuts, beets and goat cheese.

$12 (tax-in)
(vegetarian)
