Subway copycat · ⏱ 35 mins · Difficulty: Medium · Serves 2 · By Sophie Bernard
Crisp vegetable patty with salad and sauce in a soft sub roll. The real Veggie Patty is from $9.15, 2,400 kJ (6-inch price). Build follows Subway’s published sub format; no dedicated Veggie Patty copycat was found, so the patty is a standard home vegetable-patty build.

Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Medium.
- 400 g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup grated carrot
- ½ cup frozen peas, thawed
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 long white sub rolls (about 30 cm each)
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1 tomato, thinly sliced
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ cucumber, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise or sweet onion sauce
Method
- Mash the chickpeas roughly — leave some texture, do not make hummus — then mix in the carrot, peas, breadcrumbs, egg, cumin, paprika and garlic powder. Season well.
- Form into 2 firm patties and chill 20 minutes so they hold together.
- Shallow-fry in a little oil over medium heat 3–4 minutes per side until crisp and golden.
- Split the rolls without cutting all the way through and warm 3 minutes in a low oven.
- Layer the hot patty, lettuce, tomato, onion and cucumber, then sauce. Tip: chill the patties before frying — a warm veggie patty falls apart in the pan — and mash the chickpeas roughly, because a smooth mix makes a dense, pasty patty.
