  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices of whole grain bread

Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the diced zucchini and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Incorporate the kidney beans, shredded cabbage, curry powder, ground cumin, and turmeric. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage wilts and the mixture is heated through.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  7. While the filling is resting, toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown.
  8. Spread a layer of yogurt on each slice of toasted bread, then generously spoon the bean and vegetable mixture onto 4 slices.
  9. Top with the remaining slices of bread and cut in half.
  10. Serve warm, accompanied by a simple side salad and lemon wedges.
