Goat cheese, basil, carrot, and kiwi CAN be good together!

Okay, here it is... you've got to try it! As nauseating as it sounds, its actually REALLY good. With that introduction I'm sure you're all going to be rushing to try it.

Step 1: the carrot spread

Put several peeled carrots in a food processor with roasted garlic, ginger, and a bit of tofu and blend until very smooth.

Step 2: the sandwich, part 1

Spread goat cheese on one slice of bread, and the carrot spread on the other. Place fresh basil between them, and close the sandwich. Butter both sides of the sandwich and fry in a pan like grilled cheese. When both sides are browned, remove from pan and open the sandwich back up. 

Step 3: the sandwich, part 2

Now sparingly place very thin slices of fresh onion across a slice, and then place thin slices of kiwi on top. Finish and serve before it cools off!

Its so good! I'd imagine you could play with different fruit choices... pears, peach, strawberry... They all would add a bit of their own taste, but the primary role of any of them is to add sweetness. Hope you enjoy!
