Lentil Loaf Sandwich
12/11/09
I am a big sandwich person. Always have been. Dagwood and I go way back in this love affair. Anything in the fridge is up for grabs when making a sandwich. The combinations are endless and rarely repeated. When I first started to change my diet for a healthier version, bread was a tough thing to negotiate. Since that time, I have discovered so many healthier versions of bread that I am again a happy sandwich maker. This sandwich is founded on some fresh Berlin Natural Bakery Whole Grain Sprouted Spelt Bread.
How does this beautiful sandwich come together, you may ask? Start by lightly toasting your bread. I spread some mayonaise made from oilve oil on both sides. On one side I added some black olive tapenade. I sliced some non dairy blue cheese (brand name is Sheese and it has a nice sharp blue cheese flavor) and added that next. Then I heated a slice of leftover lentil loaf (previous post) and laid that on top of the "cheese." A healthy pile of spinach was added and a few fresh basil leaves to the top, and my sandwich was complete!
The flavors mixed beautifully.
Back in the day, this would have been a meatloaf sandwich with much the same stackings. Today I understand the power of grains and legumes. I understand the even energy this sandwich provides; not nap required. Try it out and let me know what you think.
