Mmmm, sandwich

[pegkerr]

I had a sandwich for lunch that I'll bet anything none of you have tried: goat cheese with honey and pumpkin.

It was delicious.

That sounds AMAZING!

That sounds scary.

I'm guess not just a raw slice of pumpkin; but regardless of my guess, I'll just ask -- how was the pumpkin prepared?

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

Canned pumpkin, which is about the consistency of apple butter. It's a staple in my kitchen, and I use it a lot. I started eating it when I was pregnant, because it is recommended as a source of Vitamin A. One tablespoon gives you a day's supply of Vitamin A. I mix it with peanut butter or yogurt (just add a dollop of maple syrup) or vanilla ice cream. Or mix it with ricotta cheese and spread on a bagel. Or add it as a thickener to stews or spaghetti sauce.

Yes, that makes much more sense than the slice of raw pumpkin idea. I figured it was something like that.

I've had goat cheese with butternut squash, which I wager would be similar! It's YUMMY. Honey for a sweet twist, and sage for a savory twist. Yumm.

I've made enchiladas from goat cheese and butternut squash--yum indeed!

That sounds wonderful--and you're right that I've never thought to make this for myself (though I might now!).

Was the pumpkin cooked and mashed?

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

Just right out of the can, canned pumpkin.

[thenines.livejournal.com]

That sounds phenomenal! Would you share the preparation instructions?

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Buy goat cheese sweetened with honey.

Buy canned pumpkin. Open the can.

Spread two pieces of bread, one with the goat cheese, one with the pumpkin.

Slap them together and eat!

Laughter noted. In my defense, I had just read Lori's post about replicating Starbucks' shaken/blended iced tea and lemonade drinks; I anticipated some fancy blending of chevre, raw honey, and pumpkin puree. :)

I have to admit...I was about to post "Aaaaand how do you make this delicious sounding meal?"

I'm going to try this amazing sounding sammich this week.

And my kitchen is never without canned pumpkin, too. :) It's such an awesome "do anything/everything" type of yum.

[embereye.livejournal.com]

Nope! That sounds AWESOME. And I had no idea pumpkin had such good stuff in it for you!

[norabombay.livejournal.com]

yummmmmmy.

I may have to try that.

I love goat cheese with honey on really good bread but haven't tried the pumpkin. Sounds yummy!

[minnehaha.livejournal.com]

Fresh goat, right? I'm sure that works.

That does sound good! I've lately been eating sandwiches with goat cheese, avocado, radishes, and sprouts. Also very tasty.

[emerdavid.livejournal.com]

No, but I *have* had pita bread with cream cheese and hoisin sauce!

[trogon.livejournal.com]

That does sound good, though maybe a little too sweet for my taste as 'lunch' rather than 'snack'. What sort of bread? I'm envisioning a good walnut bread.

It was a hearty whole-wheat.
