Vegetable Sandwich

Since become began I've eaten probably dozens of veggie sandwiches. The recipe I use loosely based on what I have handy is based on the recipe "Parmesan Crusted Veggie Sandwiches" from How it All Vegan by Tanya Barnard and Sarah Kramer.

This is how I do it.

Ingredients:
(makes two sammiches)

4 slices good, sturdy whole wheat bread
2 tbs olive oil or margarine
1 clove garlic
1 avocado
1 tomato
1/2 red onion
alfalfa sprouts
2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp vegan mayo
salt and pepper to taste

Coat bread with oil or margarine. You can either toast it in the oven ( at 400 degrees) or fry it in a pan (on medium heat). Either way is awesome. Prepare fresh ingredients by cleaning/peeling/ slicing them while the bread it heating. When the bread is done, rub clove of garlic on the sides that will be inside the sandwich. Place avocado on one side, and smush in or just leave it in slices. Next comes the onion. I find the soft avocado keeps the pieces in place. Then comes the sprouts. On the other side of the sandwich, spread dijon and mustard and place the tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Make a sandwich. I usually cut it on an angle to make it look fancy. I also usually serve with roasted veggies and a salad. Variations include adding roasted zucchini and eggplant, basil, green onions instead of red, adding roasted red peppers... Whatever you want, it always turns out amazing.
