I had a friend whose son went to college and he was a vegetarian. His son’s mother was vegetarian and she made him this delicious sandwich which was very vegetarian but still tasty. I’ve heard a lot of people who don’t like veggie burgers or anything that is a little different from meat. But these are my personal favs and I would not change them for anything.
Butternutgiraffe is my new favorite sandwich, at least in the sense of the sandwich.
If you’re a regular reader of this site, you already know that Butternutgiraffe is basically a bagel with two veggie sides. That’s because the sandwich was created by chef/producer Steve LeVine, who is also the founder of the popular vegetarian restaurant El Bulli in Chicago. The fact that Butternutgiraffe is his own creation is because, like many chefs, Steve is trying to make a career in the restaurant industry.
I just love the way this sandwich looks and taste, but I also love the fact that it’s made with just two ingredients–cheese and tomato. It’s almost like a cross between a tuna sandwich and a veggie sandwich, which is pretty awesome.
I love it so much that I’d eat it every day if I had to.
I love it so much that I made a meal from it. And you can too.
I don’t know how much of the original recipe is the original, but the second one is the original, because both recipes use butternut squash. The difference is that the second recipe adds grated cheese and Parmesan. So if you want to be really adventurous and make your own version, then the recipe is actually a bit more complicated.
I know. When I was younger I used to think that making your own food was impossible (or at least extremely time consuming), but I was wrong. It’s actually pretty easy. First, you need to get your hands on some fresh butternut squash. But first, you need to prep it. Butternut squash is pretty easy to prep. You can just cut it in half, peel, and cut the ends off, then throw it in the oven for 30 minutes.
I always found it to be a little intimidating, but in the long run, it looks really beautiful. It’s a little like the real deal, but with a bit more flavor. After the squash is done cooking and cool enough to peel, you can cut it into half, peel, and cut each half into wedges (which you can then slice in half).
The next step is cutting the butternut squash in half. It’s pretty easy, but I still recommend cutting it into wedges, then slicing the wedges into spears or slices. It helps keep the squash a little more intact and you can slice it even thinner.
