This avocado, beet, and goat cheese sandwich is one of my all-time favorite original creations. It's delicious, if I do say so myself; just ask Serious Eats or my mom.
With beets back at the farmers market, I improvised a similar sammie for dinner the other night. This time, I roasted beets and placed the slices on a rustic baguette with avocado, arugula, and feta cheese.
So simple and delicious, and I kind of love how the beets turn the whole thing pink. I served it with sauteed beet greens on the side. One more yummy photo after the break.
Well, this just made my day. I came up with this original recipe for a roasted beet, goat cheese, and avocado sandwich while doing my 'Wich of the Week feature on YumSugar. And today, the prominent food blog Serious Eats featured the recipe as its Dinner Tonight meal! That is so exciting. (BTW, it would make a great dinner tonight.)
Three makes a trend, so beet sandwiches must be in. First my mom shared a
backwoods version of my
beet sandwich recipe, and now
Angelica designs this fashionable sammie.
She enjoyed this beet sandwich at
Homegrown, a sustainable sandwich shop in Seattle. Called the Farmers Market Veggie, it combines roasted beets, goat cheese, aioli, mixed greens, and house pickled onions on country French bread. Says Angelica:
The sandwich was delightful and deliciously light, but I was most into the menu, which was written on a giant chalk board on one wall of the place. They also had a chart that showed which ingredients were local and or organic so you could pick accordingly if you were into that.
I'll have to hit this place up if I'm ever in Seattle. If you've been, please share. Or, share your own sandwich by emailing your photos to
nancy@betweenthebreadblog.com, along with a description of what's on your sandwich.
