Steemit Sandwich Contest Week #96 - Tin Bread Bunny Chow
The countdown is on and the BIG ONE HUNDRED of @jaybird's Steemit Sandwich Contest now in Week #96 is getting ever closer!
A huge thank you to @jaybird and all the past sponsors from me personally for playing a part in my growth here, still have a long way to go though!
Who would ever have thought that something like a Sandwich Contest could have helped so many people here on Steemit?
Trying to think of a different sandwich each week is not always easy, but thankfully granny Google overflows with inspiration and one idea often leads to another!
I decided to make a little loaf of bread in a tin and use that to make a hollowed out sandwich - anyone remembers the Spicy Bunny Chow I made some time back?
My new version - Tin Bread Beans & Fish Bunny Chow. Delicious spicy Beans & Fish Curry as the filling, the scooped out soft spongy bread is ideal to mop up the curry gravy. This one had such a huge 'hat' that I hollowed that out as well and filled it.
I will quote from my old post to explain just what a genuine Bunny Chow that hails from Durban, South Africa, is:
Legend has it that Bunny Chows originated when migrant Indian sugarcane workers needed a container to carry their lunch to the sugar plantations, and a hollowed out loaf of bread was ideal to hold their vegetarian curries. The cut-out piece was used to make a 'lid'.
INGREDIENTS
- White bread Dough - Flour, Salt & Yeast
- Empty food cans
- Sesame Seed - optional
- Curry spices - Cumin (Jeera), Coriander Powder, Masala, Turmeric, Star Anise, Cassia/Cinnamon Bark
- 1 Onion diced
- 1 can Pilchards in Tomato Sauce
- 1 can Chick Peas
- 1 can Baked beans
- Dhania & Curry leaves
Super fragrant Beans, Chick Peas & Fish Curry made in a jiffy.
Bread dough was divided and placed into well sprayed regular size food cans - optional to sprinkle Sesame Seed into base and onto sides of cans.
The balance of the dough was used to make a divine plaited Cheese Bread.
Simple concept - top of bread is sliced off and the remaining is hollowed out and filled with the spicy Curry.

And a quick look for all our busy people.
Hope to see many of our old Sandwiteers back in time for Week #100!

That looks so creative and unique! And the filling looks so healthy - very similar to the kind of filling I plan to make for the hillwalk I'm going to do tomorrow, but I'll probably just had a bit of couscous to it because I usually find that when I'm on the hills I crave a lot of protein but not so much carbs. I'll take a packet of potato crisps with me in case I need to fill up on carbs.
I do love that sandwich though! It's an amazing creation.
Thank you so much @natubat, this would be perfect for a hillwalk if you don't mind carbs ;) Would be great with couscous as well!
Unfortunately the hillwalk has been postponed to next week because the weather is looking dreadful! But the lunch is made up, so I'll eat it tomorrow anyway, maybe with some carbs. It's a much simpler version of your recipe, as I didn't have all the ingredients to hand :)
Omg, that looks so good! Even though I don't eat fish at all, it's a great idea to mix other types of food :)
I really enjoyed this little curry, thank you for your valued comments, sorry you don't eat fish though ;)
This is adorable! Love the little bread cups, what a great idea! You're right, it's tough to think up new ideas (which haven't been used already) each week! You manage to do it! Well done my friend :)
Love ur bunny chows!
Thank you @jaybird, nothing goes as well with a spicy curry as fluffy white bread ;)
Wooowww @lizelle that's look amazing.. and so creative!!! I never see this before..I'ts unique!!! I 'm very impressed.. Congratulations for the 1 prize, you deserve it! ;)
