LAB X KITCHEN THERAPY X THE KITCHEN TRAIL   Finger sandwiches are an essential part of the Afternoon Tea or High Tea. It lends the wholesomeness to the in-between meal. For this menu, we aimed to cross promote the existing items that LAB makes in-house with the sole goal to make you try the various breads and understand how they can be paired with stellar ingredients. This menu consisted of two: Apple + Brie and the Edamame Hummus + Purple Cabbage   Apple + Brie: This sandwich was a super hit on the menu and converted even the staunchest traditionalist towards fusion. The soft Pumpkin Bread, which is an in-house specialty at LAB, pairs perfectly against spicy onion and thyme, along with sweet apple and savoury brie cheese. Note: in place of brie, can use any other strong flavoured cheese, like red Leicester, smoked cheese, or gouda   Edamame Hummus + Purple Cabbage: This is a beautiful play on colour and texture, where we have Ragi Bread which is indulgently healthy and coarse, paired with creamy Edamame Hummus and the best part – caramelised crispy purple cabbage. Purple cabbage is shredded into fine strip and grilled on high heat with a pat of salted butter and nothing else – it is simply delicious. Note: Edamame Hummus and Ragi Bread are both individually on sale at LAB Photography + Styling: The Kitchen Trail The Recipe Serves 2 Ingredients 2 pumpkin bread slice 1/2 tbsp honey mustard 4 thin slices of apple 2 brie slices 1 round slice of onion 1 fresh thyme sprig 1 leaf of lettuce 2 ragi bread slices 2 tbsp edamame hummus 10g purple cabbage, shredded 2 tsp butter pinch of salt Instructions Spread the honey mustard evenly and equally on both slices.
