Рецепт Grilled Vegetable Sandwich to Sabotage My Meatatarian Instincts
New Here? Thanks for Visiting!
Let's Dig In!
With the Italian parsley and oregano growing like fricken’ weeds in my garden it was time to use some of it up. An easy way to do that is make chimichurri, an Argentine parsley sauce with bright flavors.
This stuff is absolutely delicious on a steak but I’ve become a bit of a meatatarian lately and am trying eat more veggies. For that reason I made this Grilled Vegetable Sandwich topped with this extremely flavorful sauce and I didn’t miss the meat one bit!
Hip Cooking Tip: If you don’t want to use the grill you can place the vegetable mixture on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven at 450ºF for about 10 minutes.
Song Pairing: This sandwich has an Argentine influence so I went with a Beastie Boys song. Don’t bother, trying to make a connection…there is none. My favorite CD release from them is Paul’s Boutique, but I’m not going to pick a song from that 1989 offering. Instead I’m going with Sabotage because this sandwich is sabotaging my "meat with every meal" instincts (in a good way) and the video is just plain fun to watch.
