Green Peas & Roasted Tomatoes come together to form that Perfect Winter Sandwich. One that you will want to eat every day for the rest of the winter.
Winters are almost here and with that is the need to eat warm, cheesy foods. Winter also means that green peas are here. I couldn’t help but combine these two to create that Perfect Winter Sandwich. Green Peas & Roasted Tomatoes with a generous dose of cheese. If you try this one, I assure you will fall in love with it.
I love many things about Winter but I think green peas are among the top 10 things I love about it. For me, they are little jewels that winter brings to us. Jewels to play with, to eat as it is. Or to add in numerous dishes. Whether it is the breakfast poha or nimona or the stuffed parantha. Come winter and I am eating some form of green peas almost on a daily basis.
Last week, I made these brilliant green peas and roasted tomato sandwiches which the whole family found finger licking delicious. The child even asked me if he could eat the same for dinner as well. The sandwich can be eaten both cold or grilled though if you ask me grilled tastes way better, especially in winter. But the child preferred it cold so while I continue to roll my eyes you can pick which style you want.
But I can assure you of one thing, whichever way you pick. You will fall in love with it and will be making it many times through winter. And maybe later too, who knows 🙂

Hi Monika, is there a way to make this without a sandwich griller?

You can toast on the tava as well. Also like mentioned this works cold as well
