Indian Tea Sandwiches
Vegetarian Times Issue: October 1, 2006 p.83
Inspired by one of India’s most popular street foods, these open-faced sandwiches make an energizing snack. Use bread that’s loaded with nuts and whole grains, such as Best Winter Wheat from Oroweat. The chutney tastes even better the next day once all the flavors have melded, and will keep up to 3 days.
Directions
- To make Mint-Cilantro Chutney: Purée all ingredients in blender until smooth.
- Spread 1/4 cup hummus over each bread slice. Top with chutney, reserving 1/2 cup. Arrange cucumber and tomato slices in single layer over chutney.
- Cut each sandwich into 4 squares. Spoon small dollop of remaining chutney on top of each sandwich square. Sprinkle onion over each, and serve.

Really I'd prob give this a 3.5. The chutney has a ton of flavor - a good way to spice up a hummus sandwich.
