Serves 2

Ingredients

• 2 carrots, coarsely grated
• 1/2 red chile, chopped
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 4 slices sourdough bread
• hummus, to taste
• 2 tablespoon Greek yogurt
• cilantro, for garnish
• freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Directions

Fry 2 coarsely grated large carrots in a pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 chopped garlic cloves, 1/2 chopped red chile, and 1 teaspoon caraway seeds over moderate heat for 5–8 minutes, stirring frequently. Cool before using in the sandwich.

Cut 4 slices of sourdough bread or slice 2 sourdough baguettes with a serrated knife along the middle so they are still connected at the back.

Spread some hummus onto the baguettes, followed by the carrot mixture.

Add 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt to the baguette in dollops, followed by a generous handful roughly chopped cilantro.

Season with freshly ground black pepper.
