The Lovely Wife enjoys her Pesto and recently when Michael made Pesto, there was a good bit leftover. Another thing that The Lovely Wife enjoys is a good sandwhich - not white bread for her though!
Also quite recently, over lunch at work, I had enjoyed a roasted vegetable sandwich that had pesto as its base and then roasted capsicum, mushroom and eggplant. I had mentioned this to The Lovely Wife. She remembered what I had told her and asked if I could do something similar.

Well, as it was, there was no eggplant nor mushroom nor much of any other vegetable in the fridge besides capsicum. So... I pan roasted some capsicum, spread the bread with pesto and then sprinkled grated cheddar cheese all over it. I considered toasting the bread but The Lovely Wife said it looked great as it was - not to mention the fact that she was hungry!

A simple enough dish to make and tasty to boot! Any roasted vegetable would go well with this and I reckon that just a plain pesto sandwich would be just as good! Sometimes its quite remarkable how something so simple can be so good...
A very tasty combination! I have some pesto in the fridge that I made the other day... you are giving me ideas!
ReplyDeleteYour family and I are kindred spirits Dharm. Pesto always seems to find it's way into many of my dishes.
ReplyDeleteI must make some pesto. The fresh local produce won't be ready for quite some time in my area. Love the roasted vegetable sandwich.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very lucky lovely wife, I wish my husband could make this sandwich for me.
ReplyDeleteAlmost anything with pesto is wonderful, but it truly has an affinity with red peppers...capsicum...by any name a wonderful veg when roasted.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice combination! I like it so much!
