Blitz together a tin of drained, rinsed butter beans with a few jarred sun dried tomatoes and a spoonful of their oil, some thyme (fresh or dried both work), juice of a lemon and a grinding of black pepper. Add a spoonful of water if the mixture is too dry.

This is very quick to rustle up, keeps well in the fridge and is easily tweaked to what is available in the way of beans and herbs and seasonings. A few chilli flakes are good if you like those.

Good with a sturdy lettuce or cress on wholemeal bread.

Yum. Sounds like the sweet/salty/crunchy combination is achievable in lots of delicious ways.

Not a sandwich, but my favourite lunch (when I’m eating on my own) ..... peanut butter and sliced banana on a lightly toasted bagel.

For some reason I fancied a change today for lunch. A real change from my usual. I don't know why but I craved it! I spread Lurpak on two slices of wholemeal bloomer then squashed up creamy goats cheese on one side and topped with sliced pears and black pepper. Top slice on, press down and eat. It was wonderful. The saltiness of the goats cheese was cut by the sweetness and crunch of the pear. Yum. ?
Any other suggestions for a wee change of sandwich filling?
