Make Ahead Super Green Vegan Quinoa Sandwich.

Vegan quinoa sandwich with avocado and sprouts

Our green sandwich went so viral we filmed it twice. This second cut follows the prep line during a real service, showing how we batch the components so every order comes out in under two minutes.

Sprouts, avocado and a squeeze of lemon go on last: the freshness is the whole point. Watch to the end for the vegan aioli that ties it all together.

During service the line runs on mise en place. Patties are seared in advance and held warm, the herb spread sits in squeeze bottles, and the greens are washed and spun so a full sandwich is plated the moment the ticket prints.

The vegan aioli is our quiet hero: aquafaba whipped with garlic, mustard and a slow stream of oil until it is glossy and thick. It carries the whole sandwich and nobody guesses there is no egg in it.

Speed on the line is really just preparation you did an hour ago, standing still and waiting to be useful.

Elena Rossi, Sous Chef

By the end of the rush we have plated hundreds of these without a single soggy slice. That consistency, more than the viral clip, is what we are proudest of.
