Nut And Carrot Sandwich Food

NUTTY CARROT SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a medium bowl combine carrots, pecans, garlic and green olives with enough mayo to moisten and hold mixture together.
• Spread four slices of bread with a light coating of mayo, and spoon carrot mixture on bread and top with another slice of bread. Cut sandwiches in half and serve.

SPICY CARROT & HUMMUS SANDWICH

Steps:

• Saute carrots: In skillet heat oil over medium, add the carrots, garlic, caraway seeds and season with salt and red pepper. Cook until carrots have softened, about 4 minutes. Let cool.
• Prep bread: Toast or grill your bread, or leave as is.
• Assemble: Layer both sides of bread with hummus (I do both sides because I have hummus love). Add carrot mixture, top with cilantro and season with black pepper.
• Serves 2

CARROT & RAISIN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Mix the carrot with the raisins, olive oil and vinegar. Season and add the mint.
• Spread 2-3 slices of the bread with houmous, top with the carrot mix and sandwich with 2-3 more slices. Cut into your desired shapes.

HONEY ROASTED CARROT AND HUMMUS SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 200 C / 400°F.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Peel your carrots if you like (I did only for aesthetics, if you're using organic carrots don't bother, just give 'em a good scrub, but if your carrots aren't organic then please peel them), then slice them on a sharp diagonal so you get long slices, about 1/2 cm thick.
• In a large bowl, whisk together honey and olive oil. If your honey isn't the runny type just heat it slightly until it is a bit liquidy. Add the carrot slices to the bowl, then toss so everything is well coated in the honey glaze.
• Arrange carrot slices on the lined baking sheet in a single layer. Pop into the oven, and roast until they are soft and slightly brown around the edges, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven to cool.
• While the carrots are roasting you can make the hummus. In the bowl of a food processor combine, chickpeas, olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, water, and tahini. Pulse a few times, then process, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary. Taste the hummus and decide whether you want to use the rest of the lemon juice (I did). Add a bit of salt and pepper, and the cumin. Process again, then taste again and decide whether you need more salt.
• Decide how many sandwiches you want to make. I always start my sandwiches by toasting the bread, especially if I'm making a few at a time to pack for lunches. For each sandwich, spread both slices of bread generously with hummus. Arrange slices of honey roasted carrots in either a single layer (for four sandwiches) or a double layer (for two extra carroty sandwiches) over one slice of the bread. Top with the other slice of bread, and either store in the fridge for up to three days or enjoy immediately.

CARROT AND CREAM CHEESE TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine the grated carrot, cream cheese spread, brown sugar, and five-spice powder in a bowl. Mix well.
• Chill the mixture for 1/2 hour to allow the flavors to blend.
• Cut the crusts off of the pumpernickel slices and roll the bread to flatten it.
• Spread the mixture onto two of the slices of bread and top with the other two slices.
• Cut these sandwiches diagonally into two triangles each.

NUT AND CARROT SANDWICH

Steps:

• Mix carrots, walnuts (or pecans), olives, pimientos, garlic in a bowl.
• Add enough mayonnaise to moisten them well and hold the ingredients together.
• Fold in basil.
• Spread each slice of bread with a little mayonnaise and place the carrot/walnut mixture on 4 of the slices.
• Top with remaining bread.
• Cut in half and enjoy!
