World cup sandwich - Tomato, Avo, Mozza
July 9 | Comments (0)
In honour of the world cup final I thought I'd make a sandwich that would represent both teams. It's a bit of a strech, but I settled on a french baguette filled with the red (tomato), green (avocado) and white (mozza) of the italian flag. Lots of passion in this one!
For the sandwich:
2 vine tomato (sliced)
1 avocado (Sliced)
1 ball of buffalo mozzarella (Sliced)
1 small baguette
For the spread:
10 fresh basil leaves
1 glug of olive oil
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
1 clove of garlic
Add all of the ingredients for the spread into a blender/mixer (or mortar and pestle) and blend until smooth. Cut your baguette in half and then cut each half length wise. Smear both sides with the spread. Put the each piece face up on a cookie sheet (or grilling tray) and place under the broiler until the bread starts to turn brown and the oil starts to bubble. Remove from the oven and place the other ingredients on one side of the baguette. Add the top of the baguette and serve.
