Ablaze's Hearty and Healthy Sandwich with homegrown Greens

You just can't beat homegrown food. It tastes healthier. It looks healthier. It is healthier. You know exactly what went into it and can be confident that no pesticides or herbicides were used.

I remember staying at my friend's Toni's house before in Majorca, he was a friend from Spain who my wife and I got to know when he lived in Galway. When he left Galway, we stayed in touch via email. My wife and I ended up travelling along the south coast of France and Spain for a summer and we included the island of Majorca in our trip and stayed for one week in Port de Pollença where Toni was from. He ended up giving us a beautiful brand new three bed apartment for the week, which was so kind and we met his friends and family, which was really cool.

Great story Ablaze, but what's it got to do with food? Well, he brought us to his home house a few times, where his family had their own tomatoes, peppers etc. We picked some bits and pieces and made some salad and gazpacho to accompany our lunch. The smell of those tomatoes was amazing and the salad and gazpacho were extra special, as they were not shop bought.

My own Dad has always been a great man for the homegrown lettuce, cabbage and potatoes here in Ireland and also forraging for Hazel nuts, black berries, crab apples and the like. My brother is now growing his own food out on the farm and that is the genesis for this post.

I was out on the farm helping him last week and when I was leaving he said stop into the poly tunnel and grab, some tomatoes, lettuce and rocket, so I did and they went in my sandwiches for the next week and were absolutely delicious as you can see below.
