This sandwich is so elegant and filling, just the picture of it will make you drool.....which is not elegant but with these sandwiches I completely understand.
Eggplant Sandwiches
1 large eggplant
1 tomato
fresh basil
hummus
crusty rolls
vegan feta cheese
EVOO
Peel your eggplant and cut it in rounds 1/4 of an inch thick. Drizzle with olive oil and put under your broiler till tender. Be sure to turn it once and keep an eye on it so it won't burn. While that's cooking smear your roll with hummus. Once the eggplant is finished, place on your roll, cover with feta and place it under the broiler for just a minute to heat the cheese. Now drizzle with EVOO and top with fresh basil and tomato.
Matthew and I love all things Greek -- the history, the food, breaking plates on the floor, hairy men dancing all night long to music straight from Mt. Olympus - It's great! This sandwich is one of those simple luxuries that as you eat it in front of a fan you can imagine sitting on a white and blue hillside soaking in the sun and breathing in fresh Mediterranean air. ahh...where's my sun bonnet?
Greek Pita Sandwiches
1 cucumber sliced
2 Roma tomatoes sliced
sliced olives
EVOO

hummus
Smear the inside of your pita with hummus then layer your cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, onion and feta cheese. Drizzle with EVOO and serve.
Matthew and I have this sandwich that we really love. It's a sweet, salty tangy refreshing sandwich that unfortunately calls for feta cheese. We loved feta because it was great on so many things. So here is the end to our feta-less life woes. Some of you may recognize this recipe from my vegan cheese post. It's pretty much the same just with a little twist to make it feta-ee.
Vegan Feta Cheese
1/4 c garbanzo beans
1/4 c cooked rice
1/4 c cashews
1/4 c oats
1 c water
1 tb red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp dried rosemary
1 clove garlic
You know the drill. Throw it all in the food processor till smooth then heat on the stove till creamy. Now, Pour the cheese into a loaf pan that is lined with plastic wrap. completely cover and place in the freezer over night. Then pull out of the freezer and let thaw in the fridge. The cheese should crumble or cube very nicely now and can be used as feta cheese.
Some may think that we have weird taste in food. That, we do not deny. We think this is a pretty awesome sandwich but we shared it with a friend and he said it was an "acquired taste." So you be the judge.

1 full pita per person
1 apple
1 can pineapple drained
2 thingys of celery
2 stalks green onion
1/2 c sunflower seeds
