Key Ingredients- 4 slices whole wheat bread
- 1/4 pumpkin (approx. 150-200g)
- 1 egg
- 1/5 onion (small)
- Small amount of carrot (approx. 20g)
- 6 fresh lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the pumpkin. Wash the pumpkin thoroughly, then place it in a microwave-safe dish or cover it with plastic wrap. Microwave for about 4-5 minutes until the pumpkin is tender. (Adjust cooking time based on pumpkin size.)
Step 2
Boil the egg to enhance the sandwich’s flavor. Add the egg to boiling water and cook for about 10-12 minutes until hard-boiled. Once cooked, rinse the egg in cold water, let it cool, and then peel it.
Step 3
Once the microwaved pumpkin has cooled slightly, use a fork or spoon to remove the stem and seeds from the center. Then, cut the pumpkin into large, bite-sized pieces for preparation.
Step 4
Prepare the vegetables for the sandwich filling. Finely mince the onion to reduce its pungency, and also finely chop the carrot. Mincing the vegetables finely will improve their texture when you bite into the sandwich.
Step 5
In a bowl, combine the cooked pumpkin and the peeled hard-boiled egg. Use a fork to mash them together until smooth and lump-free. Ensure the pumpkin and egg are thoroughly mashed for a creamy filling.
Step 6
Add the minced onion and carrot to the mashed pumpkin and egg mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly. This will create a delicious pumpkin filling.
Step 7
Let’s add a little toasting for the whole wheat bread. Heat a dry frying pan over medium-low heat, then lightly toast the whole wheat bread slices on both sides until golden brown. This step will make the bread crispier and more flavorful.
Step 8
Spread a thin layer of whole grain mustard onto one side of the toasted whole wheat bread. The slight tang of the mustard will balance the sweetness of the pumpkin.
Step 9
Now, let’s assemble the sandwich. Generously spread the prepared pumpkin filling onto the untoasted side of the bread. Top with fresh lettuce leaves. Finally, place the other slice of whole wheat bread on top to complete your delicious and healthy pumpkin whole wheat sandwich!
