Sandwiches in a Bell Pepper
Okay, this is more of an idea than a recipe, really. I'm going to get some more baking recipes on here soon (some egg-free, dairy-free breads and things, and even naan), but today we're sticking with something simple. This is a good thing to bring for lunch, and it's a bit less messy than a lettuce wrap if you're going for bread alternatives. Simply cut a bell pepper in half (any color, but I like the red ones), and fill with your favorite sandwich fillings. Lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, meat, egg salad, tuna salad, hummus, sprouts, onions, pickles, whatever you can think of. Even peanut butter is good (well, I think it is, at least. In my family we like peanut butter and tomato sandwiches - you really should try it!). You can even think outside of the traditional sandwich fillings and use leftover rice and beans or quinoa or stir-fry. Anything you can eat cold you can put in a bell pepper and call a sandwich. It's a good portable lunch. Not that there's anything wrong with bread, and there are good gluten-free breads that you can make or buy, but they're expensive and not always all that healthy and it's nice to have options.
