Zucchine Sandwich

I had to head into the city to replace my watch battery and figured it was a good excuse to grab a sandwich. I wasn’t really in the mood for another Italian focaccia or one of those big office lunch sandwiches. I wanted something a bit more crafty, if you know what I mean. That’s what brought me back to Fiore.

Since I had just eaten a chicken sandwich a few days earlier, I decided to go for the veg option.

First of, the bread was amazing. The crust had heaps of flavour with a slightly sweet caramelised edge and a bit of char, while the inside stayed super soft. Filling was very generous though, so the bread was working hard to hold everything together 😂

The whole sandwich felt really fresh. Cashew cheese added plenty of creaminess, the chilled cured zucchini was refreshing, and the roasted capsicum was juicy. The raisins actually did a lot of the heavy lifting too, bringing little pops of sweetness throughout. I think there were some pine nuts in there as well, which added a nice earthy crunch. Maybe a little more tang would’ve pushed it even further, but overall a great eat.

A bit low on protein for my usual liking, but the taste made up for it. I finished it feeling pretty good.
