Goodwich Sandwich

Written by on in Main Dish - Vegetarian

Sometimes I like to have a “meatless meal”, and this sandwich has always been a favorite of mine. Back in the 80’s, this very tasty vegetarian “hand held meal” became popular. It’s chock full of tasty vegetables and grilled onions, served in a pita pocket. You can add or omit some of the items to “make it your own”, but personally, I love it just as it is.
