ZLT (Zucchini, Lettuce, Tomato)
Introducing the refreshing vegan twist on the classic BLT sandwich: the ZLT (Zucchini, lettuce, tomato). Bursting with vibrant flavors, this delightful creation is a breeze to assemble. Let's kick things off by preparing a simple and delicious marinade for pan-frying the zucchini.
Ingredients:
- 1 zucchini per 2-3 sandwiches
- 1 heirloom tomato or 5-6 cherry tomatoes
- 2-3 leaves of lettuce per sandwich
- 2 slices of your favorite bread
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1/2 tsp of ground peppercorn
- 1 tablespoon of Brian Boru’s Curry Hot Sauce (more for topping)
- Optional - hummus or mayo
- Optional - cheese
Directions:
Preparing the marinade:
- Mix 1 tablespoon of Brian Boru’s Curry, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ½ teaspoon of peppercorn. Slice your zucchini and let sit in the marinate for at least 15 minutes, but up to 12 hours.
Cooking:
- Heat up a skillet and pan fry the marinated zucchini. Cook on medium to high heat for about 3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned.
- Toast two pieces of bread. Extra bonus points if the bread is fresh and locally baked!
-
Spread mayo or hummus on the bread (optional)
-
Wash and place lettuce on top of the bread.
-
Slice tomatoes and put on top of the lettuce.
-
Place pan fried Zucchini on top of the lettuce and tomato.
-
Feel free to add some cheese on top. My favorite is goat cheese topped with a little extra Brian Boru’s Curry.
