Ingredients

  • ½ brown baguette, fresh or part-baked, lightly toasted on inside
  • ¼ courgette, cut into 1cm-thick discs
  • ¼ aubergine, cut into 1cm-thick discs
  • Light cooking spray oil
  • 40g pepper (red, yellow, orange or a mix), sliced lengthways
  • ¼ red onion, finely sliced
  • 10g reduced-fat spread

5 A DAY: 2

Method

  1. Cook the baguette, following the pack instructions. Allow to cool before slicing in half lengthways.
  2. Place the courgette and aubergine onto a baking tray and lightly coat with spray oil. Cook under a medium grill for about 10 minutes, turning half way through until soft and lightly browned.
  3. While the courgette and aubergine cook, coat a frying pan with spray oil and warm over a medium heat. Add the pepper with a splash of water (to prevent sticking) and cook, stirring regularly. When the pepper starts to soften, after about 5 minutes, add the onion and cook for a further 5 minutes. Add more water as is necessary.
  4. Lightly toast the cut sides of the baguette under the grill. While still warm, coat one side with a thin layer of spread. Add the cooked vegetables and enjoy warm!

Twist it

For a serving of protein, add some sliced mozzarella, or cheddar. Or why not try swapping the spread for a layer of broad bean dip for a vegan option?
