Classic Sandwich


 A healthy and fresh sandwich  with a glass of fresh juice. What more you need in a hot sunny morning? Whether you are in need of a light breakfast to start your day or wanted to make fresh your morning, these are the best choice to have with your green tea or juices. I hate heavy breakfasts during summer and anything fried or cooked... I prefer my choice of bread and play a lot with the veg in hand. Last week after dropping ma kids near their school bus early  morning,  saw this recipe prepared by Sunita Rodrigues in Food First Tv. All the veggies were there with me; so ran to the kitchen & assembled those ones.. This is a classic one & the same as most of us do; but she used roasted capsicum & I just loved it.. So thought of sharing this with you guys..

Ingredients:

Bread of your choice
Butter/Mayonnaise
Mustard Sauce
Lettuce
Capsicum
Salaami/Mortadella/Sausages
Tomato
Jalapeno ( pickled) I didn't have Jalapenos with me, so used olives instead
Cheese slices
Salt
Pepper

Method:

1.First, we can roast the capsicum. Insert 2 wooden skewers together into capsicum . Fire your stove and hold the capsicum above that touching the fire. Roast all the sides equally. It will turn into ash and then to black colour. Don't worry about that, we will remove the skin and you will get a perfect green colour. Once it is roasted, take them and wrap in a kitchen towel and leave it to cool it. This will help you remove the skin easily.  After 2-3 minutes;may be after 2-3 steps, remove the skin of the capsicum with that towel. Slice it. Btw, roasting is optional, you can use fresh ones too.. but the former adds a kick to it.

2. Toast your bread. You can grill it in oven for 2-3 minutes to turn it crispy.

3.. Spread butter/mayonnaise to moisture your sandwich.

4.. A few drops of Mustard sauce on that. Add it according to your taste as it is sour and some don't prefer it much.

5. Tear some Lettuce leaves . Iceberg Lettuces are preferred. You can soak in cold water for a while and then strain and dry it using a kitchen tissue which turns your lettuce crispy. Slice all the veggies and sprinkle some salt & pepper on it. Keep some Lettuces on your bread.

6. Arrange Salami/Mortadella/Sausage/Tuna or chicken pieces above that. You can grill or steam the sausages.

7. Now tomatoes, cheese slices, capsicum, olives/jalapenos and then again some lettuces on top. Close your toast. You can secure your sandwich with toothpicks if you are packing them  for your kids' lunch box or for picnics.
