Carrot and raisin sandwiches with spearmint and olive oil

Carrot and raisin sandwiches with spearmint and olive oil offer a refreshing and unique twist on the traditional sandwich. This recipe is perfect for a light lunch or an appetizer, combining the sweetness of carrots and raisins with the aromatic freshness of spearmint and the richness of olive oil. Let's get started on creating these delightful sandwiches!

Ingredients:

1 carrot
60g
1/8 cup raisins
18g
1 tbsp spearmint
6g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
4 slices white bread
100g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Carrot: Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated carrot in a medium mixing bowl.
2. Add the Raisins: Measure 1/8 cup of raisins and add them to the grated carrot.
3. Chop the Spearmint: Wash the spearmint leaves thoroughly. Finely chop the leaves and add them to the carrot and raisin mixture.
4. Combine with Olive Oil: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the carrot, raisin, and spearmint mixture. Toss everything together until well combined. Ensure that the olive oil is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
5. Prepare the Bread: Lay out the 4 slices of white bread on a clean, flat surface. You can lightly toast the bread if desired for some added texture.
6. Assemble the Sandwiches: Divide the carrot mixture evenly among 2 of the slices of bread. Spread the mixture out evenly using a spoon or spatula. Place the remaining slices of bread on top to create sandwiches.
7. Serve: Cut the sandwiches diagonally into halves or quarters for easier handling, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and healthy carrot and raisin sandwiches with spearmint and olive oil!

Tips:

- You can use a grater or a food processor to finely shred the carrot, making it easier to mix with the other ingredients.

- For a healthier option, consider using whole grain bread instead of white bread.

- If you prefer a stronger mint flavor, you can add an extra teaspoon of spearmint to the mixture.

- To prevent the bread from getting soggy, you can lightly toast it before assembling the sandwiches.

- Feel free to add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste if you want a little more seasoning.

- These sandwiches can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving.
