Prep time : 30-35 mins.
Cooking time : 10 mins.
Ingredients :
– bread loaf
– cheese spread and cheese slices
– exotic vegetables (broccoli, red, yellow and green bell peppers)
– cabbage leaves
– a nice red and plump beetroot
– cottage cheese
– spice mix (oregano, chilli flakes, salt and black pepper)
– sauces ( mustard sauce, peri peri sauce and veg mayonnaise)
Method :
Cut the bread loaf into standard pieces and keep aside. Start off with sauteing the exotic vegetables in olive oil, then add the spices and stir well for 2-3 mins. Then, add the sauces and give it a nice mix. Let it simmer for 4-5 mins. Get the sauteed vegetables off the pan and keep aside.
Now, pickle the beetroot. Cut the beetroot into rings and boil it in water for 1-2 mins. Then add some water in a bowl and put the beetroot in it and add some lemon juice and a bit of vinegar. Keep it aside.
Move onto preparing the cottage cheese. Take your standard green chutney made from freshly chopped coriander and the regular spice mix. With your hands, crush the cottage cheese into small lumps and mix two tablespoons of green chutney, stir well and keep aside.
Lastly, pan roast the big, green cabbage leaves with a few drops of olive oil until a bit moist and charred. Do not burn them; just a bit of smoky flavour.
Lastly, start assembling and cooking everything. Take two bread slices and generously smear cheese spread on it then put the cabbage leaf on it and spread the sauteed vegetables mixture on it, further cover it with another cabbage leaf. On the other bread slice, spread the cottage cheese preparation and put pickled beetroots on it. Then take a cheese slice and put it over the bread slice. Sprinkle some oregano and chilli flakes and some salt to taste.
Then, pan roast the toastie and serve hot with mustard sauce and your favourite sides !
