Cheese & Pickle Toastie With Carrot & Apple Salad
Put the jar back in the cupboard, it's time to make your own pickle. You'll simmer apple, carrot and onion before pickling with allspice and cider vinegar. Load it into cheesy ciabattas and serve with chips and an apple and carrot salad.

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, then boil a kettle
Peel and finely chop your shallot[s]
Top, tail, peel and dice half your carrot[s] finely, then dice half your apple[s] (skin on) and discard the core[s] (you'll use the rest later!)
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Heat a pot over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil
Once hot, add the chopped shallot, diced carrot, diced apple and chopped garlic with a pinch of salt and cook for 4-5 min or until beginning to soften
Once softened, add your ground allspice with 2 tsp [3 tsp] [4 tsp] brown sugar and cook for 1-2 min or until fragrant
Once fragrant, add 250ml [375ml] [500ml] boiled water with your chopped dates, Henderson's Relish and 3/4 of your cider vinegar (you'll use the rest later!)
Bring to the boil over a high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 12-15 min or until the sauce has thickened
Once done, set aside to cool slightly – this is your pickle
Tip: Cooling will help to thicken the pickle!
Meanwhile, cut your potatoes (skins on) into chips
Add the chips to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until golden and crisp
Grate your cheddar cheese
Drain your mozzarella, then pat and squeeze as much liquid out as you can with kitchen paper
Tear the drained mozzarella into rough, bite-sized pieces
Slice your ciabatta[s] in half and place in the toaster for 1-2 min or until lightly toasted
Add the toasted ciabatta[s] to a baking paper-lined baking tray (or two!) and top with the grated cheddar and torn mozzarella
Put the tray[s] in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and starting to brown
Chop the remaining carrot & apple into matchsticks, discarding the core[s]
Wash your salad, then pat dry with kitchen paper
Combine your Dijon mustard, remaining cider vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of sugar in a bowl – this is your mustard dressing
Add the carrot & apple matchsticks and salad to the mustard dressing and toss – this is your carrot & apple salad
Spread the cooled pickle over the cheesy ciabatta and sandwich together – this is your cheese & pickle toastie
Serve the cheese & pickle toastie with the chips and carrot & apple salad to the side
Enjoy!
