Meal of the Week 1: Carrot, Hummus and Mango Chutney Toastie

Wow, I really dropped the ball with this blog.

To try and get going again I'll try and blog at least one meal a week that turned out pretty well as well as hopefully other posts.

Anyway. We went to the fair trade cafe on Cheltenham high street hoping to get a carrot, hummus and mango chutney toastie, which we'd seen on the menu the week before. Unfortunately it turns out they rotate their menus weekly so we had other food instead but were still Jonesing for a toastie. So I purchased the ingredients from the nearby tesco metro and made one each for Lyd and I (at 10 past 6 in the morning, on a Sunday before Lyd went to work. I must really love that girl)

Anyway.

2 slices of Tesco finest multigrain bread (soft sliced bread but chunky and tasty, not too pricey if bought occaisionally)
1 carrot (first grated then strips peeled off and placed on the bread)
approx 1-2 teaspoons of plain hummus and (in this case Sharwood's) mango chutney. Each one spready on a different bit of bread.

Place first piece of bread in toastie maker, then strips of carrot, then grated carrot to fill in the gaps, then other bit of bread.

Result: Big, filling chunkie thats both different and yet breakfast-y. Not too bad for you either compared to say, cheese and onion.

Coming soon: more posts! hopefully
