Cooking steps for Beetroot Sandwich

- 2Start by preheating your oven to 180 C/160 C fan/gas 4 so it's all warmed up and ready for your bread. While that's happening, grease and line your baking tray for the first batch of sponges—this helps your bread stay soft and perfect.
- 3Now, grab your bread slices, brush them with garlic-infused olive oil, and sprinkle with some pepper. Pop them under the grill for a couple of minutes to get them golden and slightly crisped; this step is where the magic happens.
- 4While your bread is crisping up, it's time to get to the heart of the sandwich: the beetroot. Set aside your fresh beetroot slices because they're about to shine.
- 5Next, grab the beetroot leaves (yes, they're edible and delicious!) and toss them in a pan with a splash of wine, lemon juice, and a bit of olive oil. Let them wilt over a moderate flame. This is your chance to get those leaves nice and tender, with all the flavors melding together.
- 6Meanwhile, saut some apple slices and fresh basil in hot oil for a quick, sweet-savory combo that adds a burst of freshness to the sandwich.
- 7Now, saut mushrooms in butter until they're golden and deliciously rich. If you're feeling extra, add some avocado slices for a creamy, dreamy texture. Once all your ingredients are ready, it's time to assemble.
- 8Layer the grilled bread with beetroot slices, beetroot leaves, your apple-basil mixture, mushrooms, and avocado (if you've chosen to include it). The beauty of this recipe of beetroot sandwich is that you can layer it however you like, getting that perfect bite with every mouthful.
- 9Drizzle a little olive oil over the top for some added richness, and serve immediately.
