A basil pesto Sandwich - a mouth watering poem!

The summer hits,
and my appetite dips.
I want the rotis to vanish;
so that when I am famished,
I can gorge on clear soups
and juicy fruits,
the waters from the coconuts,
and also some dates and nuts.
And cooked are some fresh yummy recipes
in my cool cucumber head.
One of them found a way here
as it joined the favourites list,
so here it is -
the fresher than fresh
a basil pesto sandwich recipe!
So the things we need
are from the local markets,
and some from super markets.
The list goes such -
Some freshly baked multigrain bread
with lots of seeds thrown in
for a crunchy nutty flavour.
Some real nice organic basil pesto
(the one you can make at home too)
to slather on the hot grilled bread
with lots of olive oil too.
Some fresh crisp iceberg lettuce
and lots of tiny tomatoes
to make a layer or two.
Top on it some freshly made crumbly paneer
And if you don't mind some cheese,
you can grate that too.
Now sprinkle some pepper
And some dry herbs too
Cover with a slice of a warm grilled bread
Drizzle some olive oil for the final finish.
And as soon as you are done with this
Just dig in your teeth as deep as they go.
Enjoy the flavours of the oozing goodness
as they hit you one by one
and very soon they all become one wholesome healthy flavour
A flavour that I still savour!!!
