Vegan Sandwiches

Helloooo~ 
Today was not as sunny as yesterday, unfortunately, but the weather seems to be going straight towards summer! It's very warm, but also a bit too humid ;-; 
Yesterday I tried to bake some bread using my bread machine because I thought that, that way, it would have risen in spite of the humidity, but I was oh so wrong ... It actually turned out terrible, it was all pale and had collapsed, ew! 
Fortunately enough my mum was so caring to make me some more homemade bread (spelt, sesame and sunflower seeds bread, my ultimate favorite!!!) this morning so that I could still whip up a couple sandwiches for tomorrow's school trip. Thanks mom, you're the best! 

So, as were going to hike and the temperature it's much likely going to be roasting hot, I decided to bring two sandwiches just in case I get super hungry.
I made one with hummus, boiled carrot strips, grilled zucchini and leek sprouts and the other one is with hummus, lettuce, boiled carrot strips and leek sprouts (not too much of a variation, I know hahah). 
I had some leftover veggies and hummus so I made one more sandwich that we tasted at dinner and I really want to share with you the recipe because these turned out delicious! 

VEGAN SANDWICHES:



For the Hummus
Ingredients:
420gr. canned chickpeas, rinsed
1 spoonful extra virgin olive oil
1 spoonful water
1tbsp. lemon juice
paprika, to taste

Instructions:
Rinse the chickpeas from their water and put them into a bowl with oil, water and lemon juice, then process them with an immersion blender until they form a thick and dense cream, which has a nice and spreadable consistency. Add paprika and stir vigorously.

(N.B. The recipe originally calls for lime and garlic but I had no lime and my body doesn't really seem to react too well to raw garlic so I try to limit my intake of it, but you can use these if you like. It would be the juice of half a lime instead of lemon juice and a clove of garlic, minced.)

For the Sandwiches
Ingredients:
Zucchini, 1 (grilled in a nonstick grilling pan, covered with very little extra virgin olive oil)
Small carrots, 2 (cut into strips and cooked in boiling water for a few mins)
Leek sprouts
Hummus 
Lettuce, a few leaves

Instructions:
Cut 4 slices of your favorite bread and spread them all with some hummus.
Cover the slices with as many of the veggies as you like and your vegan sandwiches are ready!
Enjoy! :)

It's just as simple as that and suuuper quick to make! :D
I hope you liked this recipe,

Martina :) xx
