Shredded Carrottahini Sandwich Recipes

SHREDDED CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Pulse almonds in the bowl of a food processor to fine crumbs. Add bread, oil, salt, and pepper and pulse mixture to coarse crumbs. Spread evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Set aside to cool.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper, then place in a Dutch oven or deep skillet in a single layer and cover with chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, skimming foam. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until no chicken is no longer pink in the center, 10 to 14 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and let cool a bit on a cutting board, then shred with two forks.
• Strain chicken broth to remove solids.
• Return chicken to the pot, then add bread crumb mixture and 4 cups chicken broth. Boil over medium heat, adding more broth if necessary, until mixture reduces and reaches desired consistency, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Toast flat sides of buns until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Fill with a generous scoop of chicken mixture and serve.

CARROT & TAHINI SANDWICH

Steps:

• In small bowl, combine all ingredients.
• Use as sandwich filling or spread.

SHREDDED CARROT/TAHINI SANDWICH

Steps:

• Shred carrots. Mix tahini with lemon juice, salt, garlic and black pepper. If it seems too thick, add a bit of water (1 tsp at a time) until it's a thick, spreadable paste like consistency. Pour over shredded carrots and mix well to combine.
• This is great stuffed in a whole wheat pita - add a generous amount to your pita, add additional toppings suggested above, and enjoy! (If taking to work, pack filling and bread separately to avoid a mess at lunchtime).
