Lamb banh mi

Serves 2

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 25 minutes

Cooking Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

For the quick-pickled carrots:

¾ cup rice vinegar
1 T sugar
1 carrot, peeled and sliced julienne

For the sandwich:

1 Woolworths rustica loaf (or baguette)
4 T Woolworths smoked snoek pâté
2 T good-quality mayonnaise
½ English cucumber, sliced into ribbons using a vegetable peeler
10 g coriander
10 g mint, leaves picked
200 g leftover roast lamb, thinly sliced
1 spring onion, thinly sliced
1 lime, halved

Method

1. To make the quick-pickled carrots, place the vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Gently stir the vinegar once it begins to simmer to ensure the sugar dissolves, then remove from the heat. Add the carrots and allow to cool while preparing the remaining ingredients.

2. Halve the bread for a generous banh mi or slice into 4 for a light lunch. Spread the snoek pâté on one half and the mayonnaise on the other.

3. Add the pickled carrots, cucumber, coriander, mint and lamb. Finish with spring onion and a squeeze of lime.
