My Happy Sandwich

[nuclearsummer]

Yummy!  I didn't use any alfalfa sprouts or sunflower seeds in mine but it turned out to be delicious!  My girlfriend tried it and loved it just as much.  I love how little time it took to prepare too; I'm probably going to be making this all the time!

this was delicious!! i didn't have any tomato, so i used red pepper instead, and i threw the onion, garlic & (portobello) mushroom in a frying pan for a quick saute. this is so yummy and something i will definitely make again!

It's now our happy sandwich as well!! We used pine nuts instead of sunflower seeds and lettuce instead of sprouts, we also softened  the onion and garlic a bit before adding it to the mixture  and it was fantastic!

 I just love it!!. I've also tried  bulgur instead of rice and it turned out great

This sounds amazing, but I was wondering if anyone had an idea of a raw substitute for the rice? I'll be fasting the next few days and afterwards want to wean myself back to solid food by eating raw for a couple days. Any ideas would be appreciated! :-)

you could sub the rice with more sprouts maybe? I guess you could also use soaked oats, if you wanted to sub them with another carb of sorts. I know oatmeal works just fine soaked overnight in a little water... i'd try the sandwich that way, but then again, I'll eat oats in any format.
Are you wrapping the sandwich in lettuce, or do you have raw tortillas or something?

After fasting, avacado and sunflower seeds can be heavy at first.  I find cooked veggies soothing esp. carotts. I also tend to stay away from spices at first too...bland foods at first.  Not sure what you can sub though.

Yum! Tastes very much like guacamole with rice and sunflower seeds. I added garlic and herb seasoning and some herbs as well as some chopped kalamata olives. I think I actually like it better as a dip, but it was also good as a sandwich on oatmeal bread with vegenaise, mustard, vegan sliced cheese, sprouts. I made double this recipe and it makes a TON!

This has been in my recipe box forever and I finally got to make it!  It was so worth it.  Next time I'm going to add some cumin and maybe paprika as well.  Very good indeed!

This has become one of my favorites.  I like to saute the garlic, onions, and mushrooms in a bit of olive oil beforehand, and I use lettuce or salad greens instead of sprouts.  Awesome!!

Quite tasty!  I just finished making this, and it's so quick and easy.  Like others, I also lightly sauteed the onion, mushroom, and garlic, before adding to the rest of the ingredients.  I subbed Bragg liquid aminos for the salt.  Instead of making a sandwich out of this, I'm dipping tortilla chips in it.  I'm sure I'll be making this again soon.

Yes this is my happy sandwich! So filling but so tasty!

We doubled the recipe and used:
1 1/2 avocado, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 c. chopped onion, 1 small diced tomato, 2 sliced mushrooms, and no sunflower seeds or rice.
We served these with homemade whole grain pita bread, sprouts, and cucumber slices (which add a great touch!).

A little too much onion and garlic, so next time we will reduce. Mushrooms good in that it extends the guacamole. Love the tomatoes with it.

Will make weekly!

This is super delicious! I've eaten this twice already. Since i didn't have any pita bread i ate it open faced on a toasted english muffin. I didn't have mushrooms, sprouts, and was too lazy to make rice so i ate it with lettuce. Thanks
