Zucchini and Bell Pepper Sandwich
by Tarla Dalal

A perfect balance of textures and flavours makes the Zucchini and Bell Pepper Sandwich a delight to relish!

Mellow zucchini, pungent capsicum, peppy herbs and spiky spices come together to make a mind-boggling filling for mustard-lined hot dog rolls.

Cheese cubes are also added to this arrangement as they melt when grilled, lending an irresistible flavour and texture to the sandwich. Serve the Zucchini and Bell Pepper Sandwich immediately after grilling with tangy tomato ketchup.

1 tbsp olive oil

For the filling

Heat the olive oil in a broad non-stick pan, add the coloured capsicum, zucchini, garlic and salt and sauté on a medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the chilli flakes and mixed herbs and sauté on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes. Keep aside to cool slightly.

Brush some butter on top of the hot dog roll and grill in a greased pre-heated sandwich griller for 5 to 7 minutes or till it turns brown and crisp from both the sides.
Cut the sandwich diagonally into 2 equal pieces.
Repeat steps 1 to 5 to make 3 more sandwiches.
