Ingredients

Wholemeal bread, sliced

8 slice(s), medium

Beef silverside, lean, roasted

120 g, sliced, fat trimmed

Pickled gherkins, no added sugar

4 medium, drained, thinly sliced

Emmental Cheese

60 g, sliced

Spinach

40 g

Red pepper

1 medium, quartered and deseeded

Pecan Nuts

4 individual, halved

Parsley, fresh

1 tablespoon(s), flat-leaf leaves

Olive Oil

1 tablespoon(s)

Red wine vinegar

⅓ tablespoon(s)

Instructions

  1. To make the romesco sauce, preheat the grill to high and line a baking tray with kitchen foil. Put the pepper quarters skin-side up on the prepared tray and grill until the skin blackens and blisters.
  2. Transfer the pepper pieces to a plastic freezer bag and leave to cool for about 5 minutes. When they’re cool enough to handle, peel away the skin and discard.
  3. Meanwhile, toast the pecans in a dry frying pan over a medium heat until fragrant. Transfer them to a food processor with the grilled pepper, parsley, olive oil and red wine vinegar, then whizz until finely chopped.
  4. Top 4 slices of the bread with the sauce, beef, gherkins, cheese and spinach, then finish with another slice of bread. Cut in half to serve.

Notes

This homemade Romesco Sauce makes a healthy and delicious alternative to butter.
