Instructions
- Add apricot spread and 3 tbsp (6 tbps) BBQ sauce to a small bowl, then stir to combine. Set aside.
- Peel, then coarsely grate carrot.
- Add vinegar, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1 1/2 tbsp (3 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. Add carrots, then toss to coat.
- Add plant-based ground protein, panko, remaining BBQ sauce, half the garlic puree and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt to a medium bowl. Season with pepper, then combine.
- Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then meatballs. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, 11-13 min.** (TIP: Reduce heat to medium-low if meatballs are browning too quickly.)
- Remove pan from heat. Carefully drain and discard fat. Add apricot-BBQ sauce mixture, then toss to coat meatballs. Cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, halve rolls.
- Arrange on a baking sheet, cut-side up. Add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter to a small pot. Melt over medium heat, 1-2 min. Add remaining garlic puree. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
- Brush garlic butter onto halved rolls. Sprinkle cheese over top halves.
- Broil in the middle of the oven, until cheese melts, 1-3 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on rolls so they don't burn!)
- Add spring mix to the bowl with carrots, then toss to combine.
- Stack some salad, meatballs and sauce from the pan on bottom buns. Close with top buns. Cut sandwiches in half.
- Divide sandwiches and remaining salad between plates. Sprinkle salad topping mix over salad.
If you've opted to get plant-based ground protein, prepare and cook it the same way the recipe instructs you to prepare and cook the beef. Disregard tip to add an egg to the mixture.
