Spinach Beet Sandwich

                                                                                   
                                                                           

Sometime back I was discussing the blog with my daughter and she mentioned that she would really like me to post some sandwich recipes as she was thoroughly bored of the sandwiches she usually takes for her lunch to office.  Since then I have been browsing sandwich recipes and trying them out.

This is one of the recipes I tried which combines spinach, paneer and beetroot.  It is a combination both delicious and  truly nutritional. For me it was very easy to assemble as I generally have the three main ingredients at home. Even if you do not, you can access it without much trouble I am sure.

If you like to make healthy eating choices, be sure to include this recipe in your collection. It  is a winner!

Ingredients: 

4 burger buns
2 beetroots
1 tbsp vinegar
1/2 cup paneer ( cottage cheese)
1/4 cup raisins
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp black pepper powder
1 bunch spinach ( approx 4 cups)
1 tbsp olive oil
Butter as needed

Method:  Boil beetroot. Peel and cut thin slices. Heat oil in a pan and add chopped spinach. Add salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Cook till all the water from the spinach dries up. Add vinegar and mix well. Leave in a sieve to drain any remaining water. Mix cottage cheese, raisins and 1/4 tsp pepper in a bowl.

Slice the burger buns in half.  Butter the lower part of the bun and layer spinach, cottage cheese and top with the beet rounds.  Cover with the buttered top part of the bun. Make the other sandwiches in a similar fashion.
