    You need to try this Marinated Grilled Vegetable Sandwich, it's stacked with grilled veggies marinated in a sweet bbq coffee marinade then piled onto crusty bread and layered with spicy cashew cream mayo.

    Our family can get a little obsessed with trying to be the top grill master when we have a get-together. All three of my grown boys have grills and smokers that they regularly try to perfect the perfect rack of ribs, Boston butt or brisket.


    Then along comes mom who sticks to a healthy plant-based diet to throw a monkey wrench into it all. It's important to me that my family eats a more healthy plant-based diet since my colon cancer diagnosis and my husband's heart attack.

    For this reason, I wanted to create a grilling recipe that would rival in flavor the best meat-based bbq. I did just that with my Marinated Grilled Vegetable Sandwich.

    HOW TO MAKE GRILLED MARINATED VEGETABLES

    Start with a great spice combination, and then add my unique secret ingredients, coffee and a pinch of cocoa. BBQ Coffee Dry Rub is easy to make and the perfect rub for kicking up your vegetables, ribs, briskets, pork, and steaks.

    Next, allow your vegetables to bath in the marinade for 30 minutes before grilling.

    Healthy Mayonnaise Substitute

    To make this sandwich a healthy plant-based meal, I switched out traditional mayonnaise for my Spicy Cashew Cream Sauce.
