Instructions

First make the baharat sauce:

  • Mix all the ingredients together except the cumin seeds.
  • Heat a frying pan on medium heat and add in the cumin seeds and toast them until fragrant.
  • Add in the baharat mix and stir for approximately 1 min and then remove from the heat and let cool. Try not to have a foodgasm at this moment as this smells soooooooo good.

Make the sandwich filling:

  • Now combine all the ingredients for the filling together and pour over the baharat sauce and mix till everything is coated in the sauce.
  • Chill for a few hours so that the flavours really meld together.

Make the sandwiches:

  • Layer the sandwiches starting with a slice of bread, then the filling, and the second slice of bread if using.
