What is filling, nutritious and delicious? Why, it’s a sandwich of course! I love sandwiches especially when they’re filled with unusual greens like basil and yummy veggies like sweet potatoes and the smoothness of avocado. Sandwiches go great with a salad or soup on the side but they can be eaten as a stand-alone item.
My inspiration for one of my sandwiches was this post by Gena from Choosing Raw. As a sidenote, I’ve become such a huge fan of Gena. I love her writing style and her approach to food. She described this sandwich as one that would change your life. It’s a monster of a sandwich in that it’s quite filling and it’s bursting with flavours.
I used some Grainfields bread (spelt I think) along with some baked sweet potatoes, cucumbers, basil, mashed avocado with some seasonings and then some chopped romaine lettuce. I served it alongside a salad. It was so good.
* A tip for baking sweet potatoes use some lime juice and olive oil to soften them up and help with the baking process but also season them with some chili powder, chili flakes, garlic powder, poultry seasoning and some black pepper. *
Your photo looks really yummy. I love bread but I’m just not a sandwich gal. Every once in a while I get a craving for a sandwich and this can last for a short period of time, but otherwise I go for long periods of time without eating sandwiches. Now roasted sweet potatoe as a sandiwch filling? Sounds good.
