Chutney for Chutney Sandwich

This is my friend, Mina's recipe. This is for making chutney sandwiches. I made them in the same food processor as the pesto.

You need

Coriander or Cilantro - 2 bunches, just cut of the ends and wash thoroughly (3 times under water and drained)

Green chillies - 10 to 12 (depending on your spice level

Skinned Peanuts - 1/2 cup

Garlic - 5 cloves

Salt - 1 to 2 Teaspoon (more or less)

Sugar - 1/2 Teaspoon

Lime - 2 to 3 (take the juice out and pour directly into food processor)

Method

Just grind everything to a chutney, Do not add any water to this, if needed add more lime juice....

You can use this to make the famous bombay chutney sandwich......

In Chennai, in the 80's we used to get this outside Prince Plaza, Egmore.

It is so delicious, spread it on a slice of bread, top with

Slice of tomato

Slice of cooked potato

Slice of cucumber

top with a dash of salt and pepper

Top with one more slice of bread spread with this chutney.... Yumm..........

Pesto - (my sister's recipe)

I made pesto for the first time yesterday. I also made Chutney for Bombay chutney sandwich for the first time. My daughter, my husband and me like the chutney but my son hates it, so When we all have the chutney, he can have pesto!

This is my sister's recipe,

You need
Pine Nuts - 1/2 cup
Olive Oil - 4 Tablespoons
Basil leaves - Approx. 2 cups, Washed and drained (chop it if your mixer will not grind)
Sundried Tomatoes - 6 or 7 (I only had that much)
Garlic - 4 or 5 cloves
Salt - less than 1 teaspoon
Black Pepper - 1 Teaspoon

Method
Just put everything in your food processor and grind to a smooth paste.

You can use this as
-->A spread for a sandwich, The one on the left is a whole wheat flax seed bread and the one on the right is a sourdough bread. The sandwiches were just great!
---> A spread of this on a slice of bread and melt some cheese on it, for, instant pizza!!
-->A sauce for pasta.
-->A sauce for Pizza.

Leftover Calzone Filling and Sprout Sandwich

I had some calzone filling leftover, so i just added some cut tomatoes to it, and spread it over bread and added some alfalfa sprouts(my most fav. sprouts) and had a great sandwich.

The bread is homemade, it is called Whole Wheat Flax Seed Bread.

It was delicious!
