I have been dying to go to a potluck forever so was very excited to be invited by Cindy to a potluck in Princes Park. I wanted to make something very picnicky & had no idea, so did a bit of googling & came across great advise such as "don't wear a fur coat to a vegan potluck" (seriously!) & in the end decided to make a muffaletta.
I bought an enormous loaf of bread from La Panella, in hindsight I brought the wrong bread because it was quite chewy, but it still tasted ok. I filled the loaf with:
- homemade basil & cashew pesto (spread on one side)
- roasted red capsicum
- grileld eggplant
- artichoke hearts
- kalamata olives
- baby spinach & rocket
- tofutti cream cheese with semi dried tomatoes mixed in (spread on the other side)
I made it the night before, wrapped it tightly in cling wrap & weighed it down with a big wooden chopping board & a baking dish.
Don't worry that it might have been the wrong bread - it was still incredibly delicious! I loved it!
ReplyDeleteAnd it was great that you were both able to make it to the picnic! I hope you can both make it to more. :o)
I agree! It was awesome. I'm gonna try making this for my kids lunches for school. So full of flavour and delicious veges!
ReplyDeleteI think it was awesome, and the bread was more than fine, I might have a go at making this for dinner on one of the hotter 'I can't be bothered cooking' nights.
ReplyDeletethat looks really good
ReplyDeleteooh looks awesome! Will have to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteoh I wish I had tried this especially when you said it was too chewy - I love chewy bread. I've always wanted to try a mufaletta too
