cresstacular sarnie

cress sarnie
though not big or clever enough to count as a recipe, this is more of a retro-reminder - if you haven't had a cress sarnie for years, you've probably forgotten how lush it is...

Ingredients
  • Couple of slices brown bread, or any nice bread with bits in
  • Large handful cress, or any other sprouts
  • Lemon juice
  • Dried chilli flakes, or paprika if you're a wuss

Method
  1. Liberally butter your bread. With the butter I failed to mention above. bah! Or you could margarine it, but it won't be nearly as nice.
  2. Pile one slice with cress.
  3. Shake chilli or paprika evenly onto other slice.
  4. Squeeze lemon over cress, squish sarnie together.
