After surviving this pandemic we learned that health is the most valuable possession of our times and no money in this world can give it back to us once it is lost.
At Filfil & Loomi we baked breads, cooked wholesome foods, tested new recipes and tickled our taste buds with exotic ingredients. The most satisfying part was that Omani farmers stepped forward and brought their amazing produce to the local market using new marketing channels.
So let us celebrate our journey to stronger health with an amazing sandwich completely free of gluten and it could be vegan too if you want but we like a little more texture and added some animal protein to it.
You can be very creative with the filling as long as you stuff it with lots of healthy vegetables, sprouts, tofu or whatever you desire. It makes a great school snack as it will not get soggy but stays crunchy and fresh. Did you know that a capsicum contains more vitamin C than a citrus fruit?
Rainbow Sandwich

1 Yellow, orange or red capsicum (bell pepper) cut in half and seeds and stem removed
