Anything is possible. In fact, even for our food lingo. All you gotto do is think. Think of the possibilities of a different kinda food item. In my house, I can't say anything goes. Nope, anything does not go because there are limitations for my other half-half, whereas I am basically any type of food survivor. I am fine as long as food goes down my tummy for hunger throne. But like I have already said, my man? I need to pay attention and concern definitely. Thank god, thanks to his palates which by far does not have an issue to bread (Grilled Fish Sandwich, Lamb Burgers). Blessings, maybe? I believe so (Bread Sardine Roll). So, when on this day, I was literally blanked out in my mind what should be the vegetarian food for his once a vegetarian day, I comfortably put up this Vegetarian Sandwich (Aloo Gobi, Cumin Rice, Mee Rebus Vegetarian, Cauliflower Curry, Chinese Vegetarian Noodle Soup, Mor Kuzhambu & Kurkuri Bhindi). Nothing mind boggling, its basically cheese, veggies and onion, topped with chilli sauce and tomato sauce and slow grilled in a portable grill. Try baking if you are fancy frilly for stove-top grilling.
4 slices of bread
4 slices of cheddar cheese
8 slices of tomato
1 onion - slice into rings
4-5 pieces lettuce leaves - tear into smaller pieces
Chilli sauce - as needed
Tomato sauce - as needed
Place a slice of cheese atop a slice of bread.
Over it, add two slices of tomato, lettuce leaves and onion.

Drizzle in chilli sauce and tomato sauce.
Another slice of cheese atop and cover with a slice of bread.
Do the same to the other two slices of bread.

This looks like a tasty excuse to pull out the panini press. This definitely proves that sandwiches do not require meat in or to be tasty. Tomatoes, onions and cheese-yum! You are right about meat in sandwiches. A lot of times having a meaty sandwich for lunch means I am not really hungry for dinner!
ReplyDeleteyum yum Ms.Nava and this panini is so healthy..I should try this..thanks for sharing ;)
