Green Sammy

After a homeless hiatus, Really Good Rabbit Food is back! First up is an oh-so satisfying sandwich I came up with one night after a long day of work. Biased as it may be to say, it truly is delectable.

I got home one night after work and was  craving some fresh produce, but wasn't feeling salad. Opened up the fridge and some of my favourite ingredients presented themselves and just asked to be turned into a magical sandwich. I'm also a tad obsessed with tahini so it of course made an appearance. These portions made one sandwich (as pictured) with some left over. However I did use small rye bread, so I can imagine with full sized bread the ratio of filling to bread would match up.

Ingredients:

1 avocado 
3 Tbsp lemon juice
1 small beet
1/2 bunch of massaged kale
1 Tbsp tahini
1/2 Tbsp olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 slices bread (would work well in a wrap too!)

Directions:

1. Make the avocado mash: mash up an avocado with 1 Tbsp of the lemon juice and add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Massage that kale: Julienne the kale and toss in a bowl. Add a splash of olive oil and lemon juice and give it a rub until soft.
3. Make some tahini cream. In a small bowl whisk together 1 Tbsp tahini, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, salt n peppa to taste. 
4. Mix the cream and kale. Add the tahini cream to the massaged kale and mix until well coated. The final result should be slaw-like.
5. Slice that beet: Thinly chop up a small beet. Grating would work as well. 
6. Assemble the beautiful sandwich. I started by tasted the bread, spreading the avocado on one side, then topping with beets. On the other slice, spread out the massaged kale on the other side then put them together. 

Enjoy the classic sandwich with some non-traditional ingredients! 

Glad to be back now and share some more really good rabbit food!
