This was today's lunch. Boy was it good!

My veggies are starting to ripen - the chiles are the
slowest of all of them. Tomatoes are starting to ripen
and I have 15 varieties, lettuce is almost done, herbs
are going nuts. I have to do something every day or
we'll get overrun with veggies.

Really good sandwich. The bread was homemade sourdough
bread and it had some spelt flour in it too along with
whole wheat and regular bread flour.

--------------------------------
   1      half          sourdough bread -- cut
horizontally
   1                    portobello mushroom -- cleaned
     1/2                yellow bell pepper -- washed &
dried
   2      slices        tomato
   2                    green chiles -- * see note
   3                    basil leaves -- chopped
   3                    nasturtium leaves -- washed
   4      sm            lettuce leaves
                        Italian vinaigrette -- for
brushing

Drizzle a bit of the vinaigrette on the cut sides of
the bread. 

Brush some vinaigrette on all the vegetables and place
the veggies and the bread on a George Foreman Grill.
Cook until you have nice marks and the vegetables are
soft. If grilling tomato, make sure it only gets a
tiny bit soft and only lightly marked. You don't want
it to fall apart.

To assemble sandwich: Place lettuce on bottom half of
bread. Top with herbs, and mushroom (slice mushroom in
4 pc before assembling). Then top with tomato, bell
pepper and chiles. Drizzle with more of the
vinaigrette. Top with other piece of bread. Cut in 2.
Serve.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

* I used a green fish pepper and a green serrano
chile. I only grilled them a bit so they got slightly
soft, seeded them and chopped them up. If all you can
find at the supermarket is jalapeno, use that.

If you have other vegetables on hand, zucchini, onion,
eggplant - use that too.
