From Food and Wine Magazine. March 2012 issue. British Chef Nick Sandler's sandwich. He made it for the Meat Free Monday Cookbook for Paul, Stella, and Mary McCartney who co-author it. Very trendy right now. He is a creative chef whose job it is to make new and interesting sandwiches for a bakery chain in the UK. This is a great take and a healthy alternative for vegetarians and non vegetarians alike. Mayo is replaced with hummus. and creaminess and protein comes from Greek yogurt. The carrots are cooked just for a bit. Delicious. Enjoy! ChefDLH Ingredients:
