Cucumber Mint Sandwich

Did I tell you about the one sunny day we had last weekend? We did make the most of it before the rain has taken over our life again.... We went for a nice walk in a local trail - Basing Trail in Basingstoke. Can't believe there were sections of this trail we had not walked before. Thoroughly enjoyed the day.



Lunch was a packed sandwich. Cooling cucumber for a nice warm day. And amazing flavours from the mint and coriander. All packed to go.... Made a mini version without the chutney for my little one as well.



This recipe reminds me of the roadside sandwiches we used to have in India. Love the way the vendor would make it as per our specifications - spice level and what ingredients. Cut into small bite size pieces. Just what you need to keep you going while on a shopping trip in the hot sun

Ingredients 

For the chutney

Bread 1
Mint 1/4 cup
Coriander Leaves 1/2 cup
Lime Juice 1/2 lime
Water 3 tbsp
Green Chilli 2 (add more for spicy version)
Salt to taste

To put together

Bread 8 slices
Cucumber 1 big (I used 10 slices per sandwich)
Cheese 4 slices
Butter 8 tsp (as needed, optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Method of Preparation

1. Grind all the ingredients to form a smooth paste. Separate into 8 portions.

2. Take 2 slices of bread. Butter both the slices. Place them with the butter side up.

3. Spread one portion of the chutney on each slice.

4. Add 5 slices of cucumber on one slice of bread. Sprinkle some salt and pepper over it.

5. Place a cheese slice over it. Add another layer of cucumber. Add salt and pepper to it as well.

5. Close it with the other bread piece.

Enjoy your sandwich as is or with some tomato sauce.
