second of third: food tuesday!

recipe tuesday!

i adore sandwiches.

aside from empanadas from morochos and in-n-out, it's probably my favorite meal.

this particular sandwich was heavenly and was consumed at a family dinner shortly before my departure to south america last summer.

all you need is:

good artisan bread

avocado

roasted red peppers

tomatos

cheese

onions [grilled or uncooked (raw?)]

olive oil

pesto

toothpicks

and a grill [foreman or otherwise]

this "recipe" is pretty self-explanatory. i mean, who doesn't know how to make a sandwich?

but, here are some instructions:

1. lightly brush one side of each slice of bread with olive oil, and arrange toppings evenly [or unevenly--whatever you want!] and carefully place on grill.

2. once cheese is melted and bread is toasted, take sandwich halves off the grill and swiftly put them together and stick a couple of toothpicks in it to hold everything in.

3. cut in half diagonally. because, as i learned from my bestie alyx, it's just not a sandwich unless it's cut diagonally.

it's a great summer meal and perfectly lovely when paired with a salad of some sort and a blackberry izze.
