Ingredients

  • 2 slices organic bread of your choice (multigrain, or spelt/Kamut, or gluten-free)
  • 2 thick slices organic zucchini (cut lengthwise)
  • 2 slices carrots (cut lengthwise)
  • 2 slices beet

White Bean Hummus

  • 398 ml canellini white beans
  • 1 Tbsp organic tahini (fair-trade if possible)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • cayenne powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika powder
  • 1 garlic clove peeled
  • 1-2 Tbsp fresh parsley minced
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Tahini Dressing

  • 1/4 cup organic raw apple cider vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp organic tahini
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1/2 tsp maple syrup or raw organic honey
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the hummus by simply putting all the ingredients (for the hummus part only) in a food processor and pulsing until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the tahini dressing by combining all the ingredients (for the dressing part only) into a medium-size mason jar and shaking until mixed.
  3. In a large pan over medium heat, with a dash of olive oil, simply sear the slices of zucchini, carrots, and beets, about 2 minutes per sides.
  4. While this is cooking, toast your bread slices.
  5. If you have a pestle and mortar, use it to crush a few leaves of fresh organic basil, or use a spoon. It doesn't have to be perfect, just bruise and crush the leaves as much as possible.
  6. Assemble the sandwich: put some hummus on top of the bread, then put the veggie slices, add the crushed basil leaves and drizzle with a generous amount of the tahini dressing. Put more hummus on the other slice of bread and top it off.
  7. Enjoy!
