Hey Guys!
Wow, it is so, so hot here in Barcelona right now! I feel like I'm almost melting away ... And eating warm food is almost impossible for me at high temperatures, I honestly prefer cold soups and fresh vegetables in the summer time.This morning, I came up with this gorgeous cold vegan sandwich I want to share with you.
It combines all the Spanish foods I love:
- "pan con tomate", which is just rubbed tomatoes with a little bit salt and olive oil
- "ajo blanco", a sauce made out of almonds and garlic, which is my favorite alternative to garlic mayonnaise
- mashed avocado
- "tortilla de patatas" , a spanish potato omelette that I easy veganized
- delicious fresh baguette bread from my favorite bakery
Growing up in Spain, my favorite tapa has always been tortilla de patatas and I used to eat tons of it. And someday, I discovered the possibility of making a sandwich out of it combining it with tomato an mayonnaise. It became my all-time favorite sandwich. I'm so glad I found a way to veganize these delicious foods, since at the beginning of my vegan journey I thought I would never be able to eat those foods again ...
You would not believe how tasty this sandwich was. A perfect breakfast!
I think I'll soon post the recipes of vegan ajo blanco and tortilla de patatas so you can easily try it out. Even though so many traditional recipes are made out of animal products, veganizing them is so easy if you just try and be creative ... and the outcome is just amazing!
