I do love sharing different recipes, and I thought this one a good idea... well sometimes a sandwich isn't just a sandwich! It doesn't always need bread!
This idea is just great if you love veggies - and it fits so nicely into my LCHF menu plans ... here is what you do.
Get these ingredients to make one sandwich:
2 long slices of washed aubergine / eggplant, 1/4 inch thick each
1 washed tomato, sliced
1/2 avocado, sliced
2 pieces lettuce of your choice
Mustard to taste
And then follow these directions:
1. Place aubergine / eggplant pieces under broiler / grill for 2 minutes, then remove and cool.
2. Stack your tomato, avocado, lettuce and mustard on the first piece of aubergine / eggplant just as you would if you were making something along the lines of a BLT.
3. Top with the second piece of aubergine / eggplant.
4. Cut in half, and enjoy ....
What could be better?

Aubergines are an excellent source of dietary fiber. They are also a good source of Vitamins B1 and B6 and potassium. In addition it is high in the minerals copper, magnesium and manganese. A 100g serving of raw aubergine provides: 25kcal 1g protein 0.2g fat 6g carbohydrate 3.4g fibre.
