[kwormann]

I am soooo excited. This is one of the prettiest cookcooks Ive gotten since the book I got about buying fresh veggies at the farmers market and doin' stuff with them If anyone is interested in certain types of sandwiches, the table of contents, etc, would be HAPPY to comply

[kima]

Who puts out this cookbook- it sounds wonderful!

[kwormann]

It is by Paulette Mitchell. It has wonderful photos. In fact, the staff at Barnes and Noble was impressed with the cover and wanted to know where I found out about it

I am lying here in bed, DH by my side, Friends on the tube, kittens gathered round, reading it as tho it is a novel.......

[catharine]

That sounds so good. I am always in search of vegetarian sandwiches. Right now my favorites are a mock tuna (made with mashed up cannellini beans), a carrot salad, and grilled veggies with some mozzarella or goat cheese.

So, what are some promising recipes? Do tell

No luck at B&N.

I'll probably order it from amazon.

Kim - would you mind posting the portabello & goat cheese recipe when you have a chance in the mean time? I had such good luck with the portabello reubens from Moosewood, and this sounds really yummy!

[kwormann]

I thought this sounded good too!
Grilled Portobello Mushroom Sandwiches with Sun-Dried Tomato and Goat Cheese Spread
Makes 2 sandwiches
Sun-Dried Tomato and Goat Cheese Spread
2 T Milced oil packed sun dried tomatoes
2 T fresh white goat cheese at room temperature
1 T red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
Pinch of sugar
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Salt to taste

2 large portobello mushroom caps
2 1/4 inch thick red onion slices
olive oil for brushing
salt and pepper
2 crusty french rolls, halved horizontally
2 T fresh Parmesan cheese or very thinly sliced provolone
8 arugula leaves


To make the spread
Process all ingredients in a food processor until nearly smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Prepare an outdoor grill for cooking. Brush the rounded tops of the mushrooms and the onion slices with olive oil. Arrange them, oiled sides down on the grill rack about 6 inches from medium-hot coals. Cook for about 3 minutes, brush the other side with the additional oil, then turn. Cook for about 3 minutes or until tender and lightly browned. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle light;y with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.

Spread the mixture on the cut sides of each roll. Add cheese to the bottom ha;f of each roll, then top with the following layers: arugula leaves, onion slices, and a mushroom cap. Top with the upper half of the rolls. Fasten each sandwich with a long sandwich pick and cut in half.

The spread will keep up to 5 days in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Kim -

Thanks so much for recommending this cookbook! I got it from amazon.com a couple of days ago. I've marked a gob of recipes to try.

I made the first this afternoon for lunch (okay -- a lot later than I'd originally planned): the Grilled Portobello Mushroom Sandwiches with Sun-Dried Tomato and Goat Cheese Spread . It was so very, very yummy! I made it even easier by using sun-dried tomato paste (in a tube) vs. messing with the tomatoes themselves. As a result, I didn't need to dirty the food processor... I just mixed everything up with a fork. Additionally, I just prepared the portabellos in the oven (used Moosewood instructions). Anyone that likes goat cheese & portabellos really needs to give this a try!

[kima]

Thanks for posting that recipe Catherine! it looks great! I plan to try if for linch this week!

[dulcecoeur]

I make a similar mock tuna to Catherine's recipe with chickpeas and green onions. One of the few things I miss from my meat-eating days believe it or not are tuna melts and I find this mixtures make an adequate substitute!

Add some shredded cheddar cheese (or soy cheese if desired) to the mix itself, or on top of the spread in an "open faced" sandwich and broil until cheese melts.

[Natasha]

Catharine,

My sister used to make that recipe (mock tuna from the Hinman book) and I love it! Mmm...thanks for the reminder to make it soon!

But I should mention, for those who have not made it, that this does not taste like tuna (IMHO). In fact, my sister cannot abide tuna, but loves this recipe...so what does that say?

Natasha

[newsomz]

Wendy W-

I too have 15-min Vegetarian Gourmet. I just got it recently and haven't tried too many recipes from it so, I would love to get suggestions of what to try from you. I liked the ginger stir-fry (or something along those lines) and the pasta salad primavera. Thanks.

Also, thanks everyone else for the reviews on the sandwich book, looks like I may need that one too!

i picked up my book yesterday and made the eggplant with black olive tomato spread (not the name) and it was good! thanks again for the tip about this cookbook!
cheryl

[babydollsea]

Hi,

Would it be possible to get a few recipes from this cookbook. I was interested in the Vegetable Pan Bagnat, Middle Easter Pita pockets and the Mozzarella, Tomatoe and Basil in Pita? I making a Mother's day "Healthy Lunch in a box" and I thought I could make homemade pitas with a healthy filling. Any additional ideas are also welcome. Thank you!
