Ingredients

2 servings
  1. 12 sliceswhite or wheat bread
  2. 2 tablespoons peeled beetroots finely chopped
  3. 2 tablespoons bell pepper/capsicum finely chopped
  4. 2 tablespoons cabbage finely chopped
  5. 1 tablespoon green onions finely chopped
  6. 2-3 tablespoonsmayonnaise (with egg or eggless)
  7. as neededBlack pepper powder
  8. Crushed red chilli flakes
  9. Softened butter
  10. 2-3 tablespoonsNutella (chocolate-hazelnut spread)
  11. 2 teaspoonsmixed fruit jam (or any red colored fruit jam, spread or preserve)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    For the beet-mayo filling:
    Finely chop or grate the vegetables or use a food processor (makes it easier and quick).

  2. 2

    Transfer the chopped vegetables to a bowl.
    Add green onions and mix well.

  3. 3

    Stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, black pepper powder and red chilli flakes (depending upon how spicy you want your sandwich) and mix well.
    Do a taste test and adjust the spices and salt accordingly. The mayo I used was slightly sweet (the way I like it!); you can add some sugar if you want.

  4. 4

    I had two sizes of heart-shaped cutters, so I used the bigger one for the beet-mayo sandwich and the smaller one for Nutella and jam-filled sandwiches.
    Take one slice of bread and place the cutters over them to get 2 heart shaped bread slices. If you have bigger cutters, make one heart-shaped slice for each slice of bread. Mine were smaller, so I got two heart-shaped slices, one big and one small.

  5. 5

    Continue with the other slices to make more heart-shaped slices; (the leftover bread can be used to make breadcrumbs).
    Butter all the 12 larger heart-shaped bread slices for beet-mayo sandwiches on one side.

  6. 6

    Gently place a small teaspoon of beet-mayo filling over half of the larger slices (about 6) and spread it evenly with a palette knife.

  7. 7

    Place the other 6 slices (with just butter) with the butter side down on top of this and press lightly. Dainty beet-mayo tea sandwiches are ready.
    Now to make the Nutella and jam sandwiches.
    Over 3 of the smaller slices apply and spread Nutella gently. Place the other half over the top and press gently. Nutella sandwiches are ready.
    Similarly, make the jam sandwiches.

  8. 8

    Serve these delightful, dainty and pretty heart-shaped sandwiches to your Valentine or any loved one as a snack with evening chai/coffee or as a starter or appetizer at any party. They stay good in your kids’ lunch box too, especially the jam and Nutella hearts!!! #Mealfortwo.
