Necessary ingredients
- 1 multigrain baguette with potatoes
- 150 g pork pastrama (or any other preferred type of meat)
- 225 g natural milk core
- 100 g roasted pumpkin (about 1/2 small pumpkin)
- 100 g boiled corn (fresh or canned)
- 100 g boiled red beet (about 1 small beet)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: arugula or spinach leaves for an extra freshness

Step by step for a perfect sandwich

1. Preparing the ingredients
Start by preparing all the ingredients. Cut the multigrain baguette in half lengthwise to get two generous slices. Make sure to use a fresh baguette to achieve a crispy crust and fluffy core.

2. Cutting the vegetables
Roast the pumpkin until soft (about 30 minutes in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius) and let it cool before cutting it into cubes. Boil the red beet if you don’t have a pre-cooked one until soft (about 45 minutes). Once cooled, remove the skin and cut the beet into cubes.

3. Assembling the sandwich
On each slice of baguette, add a generous layer of milk core. This will not only enhance the flavor but also add a creamy texture that will contrast with the other ingredients.

4. Adding the proteins
On top of the milk core, place the slices of pork pastrama. If you are vegetarian or vegan, you can opt for a plant-based version, such as tofu or a mix of roasted vegetables.

5. Finishing with vegetables
Add the cubes of roasted pumpkin, red beet, and boiled corn. These ingredients will not only add color but also an important nutritional contribution due to the essential vitamins and minerals they contain.

6. Seasoning
Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, you can also add some arugula or spinach leaves for an extra crunch and freshness.

7. Serving
Fold each sandwich and serve immediately! You can accompany the sandwich with a green salad or a fresh smoothie for a complete breakfast or snack.

Practical tips

- Vegan option: You can substitute the milk core with a mixture of mashed avocado or hummus for a delicious vegan option.
- Pumpkin: If you don’t have roasted pumpkin, you can use raw pumpkin, but the cooking time will be longer. Also, butternut squash is an excellent choice for a sweeter taste.
- Beet: You can use pickled beet for a different taste and pleasant acidity.
