How to make capsicum corn sandwich?
Place corn in a bowl of water to defrost, prep vegetables and gather the rest of the ingredients.
In a mixing bowl, combine the defrosted corn, chopped capsicum, onion and tomato.
Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and spicy yogurt sauce. Check the spicy yogurt sauce recipe on the blog.
Mix well with a spoon until everything is well combined.
Take 2 slices of bread and spread butter on one side of each bread.
Spread tomato ketchup on one side of the other two slices.
Place the corn and capsicum mixture on buttered bread slices, spreading it evenly.
Place the other slices of bread on top to create sandwiches.
Lightly butter the outer sides of the bread to help it toast.
Heat a sandwich press and place the sandwich in the sandwich press and cook until the bread turns golden brown.
Remove it from the sandwich press and slice it half or diagonally or as desired.
Serve a grilled corn capsicum sandwich with any side of your choice.
Substitutions
Bread Variations: We used wholemeal bread but you could choose multigrain bread for added nutrition and a nuttier taste. Instead of regular sliced bread, opt for a baguette or ciabatta roll for a different texture.
Veggie Substitutions: Add cooked peas, finely chopped broccoli, shredded carrot or cabbage to the mixture for extra colour and nutrients.
Leftover Corn: This is an ideal recipe to use up leftover spicy masala corn. However, you need to use less yogurt sauce and seasoning.
Serving Suggestions
Accompaniments: Serve the sandwiches with a side of crispy roasted rosemary potato, sweet potato wedges, or a small cup of vegetable soup for brunch.
Dipping Sauces: Offer some dipping sauces on the side, such as ketchup, honey mustard sauce, or a creamy yogurt herb sauce, for extra flavour.
Lunchbox: Pack them in a lunch box along with roasted vegetables, mango avocado salad or air fryer baby carrots.
Storage
This sandwich is best enjoyed warm and fresh out of the sandwich maker, or within five hours if stored in an insulated lunchbox.
If you’re pressed for time, you can prepare spicy yogurt sauce and chop vegetables ahead of time and keep them refrigerated in separate containers. When ready to eat or pack in a lunchbox, season the vegetables, assemble the sandwich and toast.
Tips and Tricks
Adjust seasoning to taste: Taste your corn and capsicum mixture before assembling the sandwiches and adjust the seasoning accordingly.
Consistency of the filling: Make sure the consistency of the corn and capsicum mixture is not too dry or too wet. It should hold together well.
Butter the bread: Lightly buttering the bread slices before adding the capsicum corn filling adds flavour and helps create a crispy exterior when grilled or toasted.
Even Filling Distribution: Spread the filling evenly across the bread slices. This helps in uniform cooking and ensures that each bite contains a balanced mix of ingredients.
FAQ
You could, of course, use fresh corn kernels. However, it must be boiled before combining with other ingredients.
