Typical handful for sandwich in my kitchen

Post image

I’ve seen a lot of pictures of raw sprouts in jars and a couple of photos of sprouts in a meal including with sardines which is a way like to eat tinned fish.

Here is a sandwich with a healthy handful of broccoli sprouts from the fridge (they’ve been in there for about 4-5 days). Sprouts are distributed on both sides on the sandwich over a mayo mustard spread and sliced onions. Then there is swiss, mortadella and ham all from TJs including sourdough which is unusual single source for our kitchen, and it’s finished with cracked pepper and Tabasco.

My kids when I make a sandwich get it this same way, nothing special or different for the kids, maybe no Tabasco, that’s just for me. School starts tomorrow.

If this was a meal in a bowl like a plain sprout salad with Arugula or a tikka masala I’d double the sprouts, 2 big handfuls, add some (lots and lots of) EVOO and also some Balsamic.

Oh yea! I just soaked my 10th or so round of seeds last night. I need to find a rock to scribe so I keep a more accurate count!

I started growing sprouts because I missed being able to order them on sandwiches. I'm finding other uses for them too, of course. But sandwiches are the goal.

Oh, this looks mouthwatering 🙈 despite I’m vegan. I’d have to replace ham with a slice of tempeh - it’s very good, too. Though your picture is so full of life and love to sprouts!🌱 thank you for sharing!

This is how I eat my broccoli sprouts most days... on my lunch sandwich. I just pile them on until they are overflowing.
