Roasted cauliflower sando with rocket on focaccia bread topped with sea salt

This week, I ventured into Fabbrica Bread Shop, a gem of a bakery by @ciaofabbrica, tucked inside Maloney Grocer in Rozelle. I’ve always been a fan of Fabbrica’s sandwiches, so my expectations were quite high. The menu for the day featured two sando options: chicken and roasted cauliflower. Typically, I’m a meat-first kind of diner, but the cauliflower sando caught my eye—and piqued my curiosity. Given the drizzly weather outside, I opted for my sando warmed up, which seemed like the only sensible choice.

And wow, did it deliver! The sando was nothing short of spectacular. It came heartily warm, bursting with flavours. The focaccia was the stuff of legends—thin yet robust, delightfully charred with a satisfyingly crunchy crust. The sprinkle of sea salt on top perfectly accentuated the deep flavours without overpowering the sandwich. The filling was great too; the roasted cauliflower, possibly pickled, added a slight sourness that melded beautifully with its tenderness and rich taste. Despite being a bit oily, I managed to finish it off without making a big mess. Overall, I was thrilled with the sandwich. Now, my only challenge is figuring out how to balance out my protein intake for the day. 😂
