Ingredients

4 Portions

200 g padrón peppers

2 tbsp olive oil

½ lemons

8 slices wholegrain bread

8 slices serrano ham

125 g Castello® Aged havarti

Preparation

Rinse the Padrón peppers and let the dry off.

Add the olive oil to a frying pan and make sure it is warm before adding the Padrón peppers.

Fry for 3-4 minutes and stir the peppers occasionally to make sure they fry evenly.

Season with salt, pepper and freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Cut slices of Castello® Aged Havarti and place on a slice of toast with Serrano ham and Padrón peppers.

Finish with a few slices of Castello® Aged Havarti and a slice of toast on top.

Remove the crust and place the sandwiches in a toaster or panini grill for 3-5 minutes until the toast is golden.

Cut the sandwiches diagonally and serve on a wooden board with fried Padrón peppers.

Serving Suggestion

This tapas dish goes excellently with a glass of white wine. The salty and rich flavours and textures of this toasted sandwich would suggest a dry and crisp Riesling without too much sweetness or body.
