WHEN I THINK OF SPRINGTIME, I SEE THE COLOUR GREEN, I FEEL THE SUNSHINE AND SMELL THE SCENT OF FLOWERS IN THE AIR....OHH, HOW POETIC... WELL, I ALSO SEE A LOAD OF WORK IN THE GARDEN, SPRINGTIME FATIGUE AND ALERGIES.... IT`S ALL ABOUT PERSPECTIVE. LUCKILY I LOVE SPRING!!!
...SINCE MY GARDEN IS GOING NUTS, I THOUGHT I'D GO PICK A FEW FRESH INGREDIENTS....AND THAT's HOW THIS SANDWICH CAME ABOUT.
....the source of today's veggies, well except the avo :) ....
THE BREAD: rye flour, wheat flour, mixed seeds, yeast, salt, water.
It's an unusual type of bread but very simple to make. I chose it because it has a nice sweet flavour and is dense enough to hold the topping.
THE SPREAD: ricotta (creamy, Italian fresh cheese), garlic, chives, salt and pepper. Ricotta is perfect for this sandwich-sweet and mild enough to compliment and not overpower the delicate spring veggies.
THE TOPPING: avocado (I know, I know, avo roses are so last year, but I still like them :)), fresh peas, steamed asparagus, grilled chicken, and shoots: pea shoots (taste just like peas, posh restaurants pay a fortune for them), garden cress, beetroot shoots, arugula shoots, flowering chives.
Season the ingredients well with salt, pepper, lemon juice and good extra vergine olive oil. You don't need anything else.....Spring on a plate...Delicious....
that avocado looks sooooooooooooooooooo gooooooooood

The bread is very simple to make, no machines needed, just a bowl, sieve and a spoon...since a lot of you liked it, here's the recipe:
Sift the two flours together in a bowl, add yeast and sugar, mix well, add salt and pour in the warm water gradually...just mix it well with a spoon, the dough needs to be very wet, almost like a thick batter, sticking to the bowl, add more water if necessary, no kneeding required. Cover and leave to proove until doubled in size (apx. 30-40 min).
Then make one loaf of a few small ones, I just scooped the dough onto a non stick tray with a spoon, make it flatter than normal buns, sift a bit of rye flour on top of each and cover. When the surface cracks - see photo below (about 15 min), bang it in a preheated oven (190 C).
A very IMPORTANT TIP for any bread baking is to put an ovenproof bowl or small baking dish with an inch of water in the bottom of the oven as you turn it on!!!! As it heats up, the steam created makes your bread rise nicely before forming a crust!!!!!!!
Bake until golden brown. The time depends on the size of the loaves, between 40-60 min, just trust your sense of smell, pierce it with a wooden scewer or tap it- if it sounds hollow, it's done!

Thanks!!! I have never worked with rye before. I love rye bread though. As soon as the oven here gets fixed I will try to sneak some bread making haha. I don't think I could achieve what you did. I will give it a shot someday.

Very nice!!! :)
I thought when I first saw the picture that the chicken was bananas.
Now I am wondering how grilled bananas with avocado tastes like... :)
