Make lunch fun with this alternative to bread for your sandwiches.
Ingredients
For the Waffles:
- 100 g Cooked Beets
- 50 g Beet Juice optional
- 2 eggs yolks and whites separated
- 300 g Flour
- 300 g milk
- 50 g melted butter
- a pinch of Salt
For the Sandwich Filling:
- 250 g Ricotta cheese
- 1 slice Cured Ham per sandwich
- 4 figs we used some we had the freezer as they are not in season
- some Red cabbage sliced
- a bit of Lettuce or greens of your choice
- a few walnuts
- Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Waffles:
- Blend cooked beets and beet juice until very smooth.
- In a large bowl, place flour, salt, egg yolks and beetroot purée. Mix until combined.
- Add the melted butter and mix until very smooth and homogeneous. We recommend using a hand mixer or stand mixer with the whisk attachment.
- Incorporate the milk.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites and incorporate them gently to the batter. It's okay if the egg whites are not thoroughly incorporated.
- Butter your waffle iron and prepare the waffles according to your waffle iron maker.
Make Waffles Sandwiches:
- Spread a layer of ricotta cheese on a waffle. Pepper to taste.
- Place a few leaves of salad, some red cabbage, a slice of ham roughly cut, a sliced fig and some walnuts.
- Either eat as is as an open-faced sandwich or cover with another waffle to make a regular sandwich.
Notes
NOTE: If you’re on a dairy-free diet, you can easily replace the milk in the waffles by almond or soya milk. The butter can also be replaced with vegan butter or even olive oil.
