When you have the nerve to call something the ultimate anything, it’s got to be pretty special right?  And this Ultimate Vegan Sandwich IS indeed pretty special.

We start with a very simple home made bread – no yeast and no proving, just one bowl and 30 minutes bake time.

I’ve flavoured it with Kombucha which gives a lovely deep, almost malty, flavour.  A great base from which to build our ultimate vegan sandwich.

Then we build our layers of flavour.  Roast the tomatoes right along side your freshly baked bread – roasting them with a little red wine gives them an even sweeter, more tomatoey flavour.  If you’re worried about opening a bottle of wine just for a splash to roast some tomatoes I buy the small, 1 glass bottles and anything I don’t use I freeze in ice cube trays.  It’s not something you could probably drink as a glass of wine after but it’s a great way to keep any leftover wine and then just drop in sauces and stews!

Then we have the wonderful New Roots vegan cheese – specifically their Camembert.  It’s light, creamy and full of cheesy flavour to perfectly off set the tomatoes.  Then add some grated carrot for crunch, a sprinkle of fresh herbs and some smooth as silk sliced avocado.  I also spread the bread with just a schmear (technical term) of Dijon mustard.  Wholegrain mustard would be just as yummy, or even a little vegan pesto, creamy horseradish, vegan mayonnaise or onion relish.  Because if you’re going to call a sandwich the Ultimate Vegan Sandwich you’ve got to push the envelope a little right? ?
