I am seriously thinking about just starting a different blog. I have had so many different topics on here that I am sure people get confused. I am thinking this blog might just be better as a personal one for family stuff and such. Then have a different blog for all the vegan recipes and vegan info. NOT sure but do know I need to start it soon if I plan to.
Anyways, for today I will put the recipe here. :-) This is one of the 1st actual vegan recipes I tried. It was delicious. It was funny tho. Dennis has been adamant that he doesn't do squash. He tried the balsamic zucchini and liked it. He hung his head as he told me. He has been doing that a lot lately. He has tried everything I have made and so far liked it all.
Balsamic Zucchini Sandwiches
2 zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/2" thick strips (also works ok to cut it the other way)
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 T balsamic vinegar
1 c rinsed white kidney beans (cannellini beans)
1 large roasted red pepper
2 whole wheat sandwich rolls (mini baguettes or bolillo rolls)
6-8 fresh basil leaves
1/2 t freshly cracked black pepper
Over medium-high heat, saute the zucchini strips for about 1 minute (do not overcrowd the pan). Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and balsamic vinegar and stir immediately. Saute this for about 30 seconds and remove from the heat. Puree the white beans and roasted red pepper. Toast the buns. Spread the pureed beans on the bottom bun, then add the basil, then the zucchini, and finish off with a garnish of black pepper. Enjoy!!!
(Option -Instead of making the roasted red pepper and white bean spread, simply use a commercial roasted red pepper hummus.)
Serves 2
Until Next Time,
