special vegetarian health sandwich


Ingredients


1 1/2 tblsp butter


1/2 green pepper, chopped


1/2 small onion, chopped (purple or yellow onion ok)


1/3 of a 10 oz bag of sliced mushrooms or... slice up approximately 3 - 4 oz of mushrooms


1 small can sliced olives (4 - 5 oz, I believe), drained


2 slices of pre-sliced, deli-style swiss chease


1 slice of pre-sliced, deli-style provolone cheese


2 sandwich rolls (hoagies, steak rolls, any sliced sandwich roll)


mayonnaise


lettuce (optional)


tomato (optional)





Directions


Prepare the sandwich rolls by slathering mayonnaise on them. (if you like less mayonnaise than ';slathering';, by all means, use less, or use light mayo if you also prefer.)


Melt butter in large saute pan over med-high heat


Saute green pepper and onion together, until starting to soften


Add mushrooms, breaking the slices up into smaller pieces while doing so


Saute this mixture for another couple minutes until mushrooms start to soften


Now add the sliced olives


Stir it all around a bit, until the olives are heated through


Now divide it into 2 portions, each on one side of the pan


Turn heat to low and put 1 slice of swiss cheese and 1/2 of a slice of provolone cheese over each portion


Let melt and turn off heat.


Using a spatula, slide portions (one at a time) into their respective sandwich rolls. Some may fall out so put it back in!


Now add your preferred amount of lettuce and tomato and dig in!


**NOTE** You can just use swiss cheese, and omit the provolone and it's just as tasty.

Chickpea and Sesame Paste Dip (Hummus bi Tahina)





Homemade Hummus is much, much better than any shop-bought version, unless you are purchasing the freshly made product from a traditional middle-eastern suppler. Truly authentic Hummus is made from peeled chickpeas - not as daunting as it sounds! Makes 1½ cups.





200g dried chickpeas, that's one very heaped metric measuring cup


¼ cup lemon juice


½ teaspoon yellow asafetida powder (to replace two cloves garlic)


6 tablespoons tahini


1 teaspoon salt








Soak the chickpeas in cold water overnight or at least 12 hours. Drain and place the chickpeas in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water, about three times the volume, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for an hour or until the chickpeas are tender, topping up with water if necessary.





Drain the chickpeas, reserving the cooking liquid. Cool slightly then rub the chickpeas well to loosen the skins. Cover with cold water and the loose skins will rise to the surface. Scoop them off and discard.





Place the peeled chickpeas in a food processor with the lemon juice, asafetida, tahini and half of the salt. Process to a smooth puree, adding some of the reserved cooking liquid if necessary to achieve a smooth result. Add the remaining salt if it needs it.

Italian side dishes, but combine any 2 or 3 %26amp; you have yourself a fancy veggie meal.


--------------------------------------…


Sweet acorn oe butternut squash. I can't remember if the summer squash is steamed or baked though, but you put a little butter or spread in the center of a half %26amp; a spoon or 2 of brown sugar.





Succotash, just cook limabeans %26amp; corn in a pot %26amp; mix them together with salt %26amp; a little granulated garlic. It tastes great.





You can steam baby carrots %26amp; coat them in honey %26amp; butter.





Dice up a few brown, red, %26amp; yellow potatoes, put them in a casserole dish, coat them in olive oil %26amp; italian seasonings like onion powder, ralic powder, oregano, basil, parsely, thyme, marjoram, salt, white pepper, etc, %26amp; roast them until they're crispy on the outside.





Steamed artichoke with whole sliced garlic. They're sweet, so you really don't need mayo or any seasonings.





Roasted asparagus with melted parmisan cheese %26amp; garlic.





Baked breaded zuchinni.





Artichole %26amp; spinach dip.





Chopped jicama with diced water chestnuts.





3 bean salad with berry vinegarette.





You can also make lentil %26amp; veggie soup. I prefur Sweet Red Lentil (it's more of a desert, like Azuki Bean Soup) or Italian Lentil with Wine (which smells a bit like maranara sauce) myself.
