    red onion, diced small

How To Make fennel tea sandwiches

  • 1
    Combine all of the SANDWICH FILLING ingredients in a prep bowl. (Or use a mini-chopper or food processor and PULSE into small pieces.) Taste and adjust if needed. Note: I prepared the sandwich filling minus the pistachios the night before I planned to serve it. When I was ready to prepare the sandwiches the pistachio nuts were stirred in then.
  • 2
    Just prior to serving, divide and spoon the sandwich filling on half of the bread slices. Top with other bread half and cut into quarters.
  • 3
    Arrange on a platter and garnish with fennel fronds. Do not prepare the sandwich too far in advance or they will become soggy.
  • Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
