Cashew Butter Sandwiches

Tonight was a quick dinner since we filled up this afternoon on these absolutely delicious Oatmeal Peanut Butter cookies Darlene made (another awesome recipe from Vegan With a Vengeance). There's this recipe on the PPK web site that's a little similar, but if you want the recipe we used go buy the book!

Back to dinner... last month we went to the Green Valley Book Fair, which we had heard has tons of books for really cheap. Well, that's true, but they're mostly older and/or less popular books. Their cookbook section was decidedly mainstream, but we did pick up Moby's "teany book" for 4 bucks. It has stories and recipes from his cafe called teany, and was definitely well worth it at that price.

So dinner tonight was a salad similar to a couple of nights ago and these sandwiches from teany book (thanks Moby!):

We used a light wheat bread and spread cashew butter generously on one slice and apple butter on the other slice. On the cashew butter side put about a quarter of a large banana, sliced and on the apple butter side drizzle about a half teaspoon of maple syrup. Put together, spread margarine on both sides and grill in a skillet over medium heat until nice and brown on both sides. Oh, and make more than one because once you've had one you'll definitely want another.

Here's what ours looked like...

Thanks for the comment!

I think in the book Moby says these will cure a hangover, though these days it's a very rare occasion that I'd actually be able to test that theory.

Those sandwiches were the first thing we made out of the teany book, and they are incredible!! If we weren't out of apple butter I think I'd have one for lunch.

Thanks for the recipe, I tried them tonight with peanut butter and they were amazing. Great comfort food!

Next time I will try them with cashew butter though.
