Instructions

Stay Awake

(Stops screen from sleeping)

1 Carefully cut the top off the cob loaf, set aside and hollow out the middle to leave a shell, without making walls too thin.

2 Spread the pesto over the bottom and part way up the walls of the cobb. Cover the base with ²⁄³ spinach leaves, then layer with beef slices, roasted capsicum, eggplant, semi-dried tomatoes, basil leaves and the remaining spinach. Spread the inside of the cobb top with tomato relish, and place this top back on filled cob.

3 Wrap in cling film or foil until ready to serve. When ready to eat, cut cobb into four wedges.

Variations

For a vegetarian option, replace the beef with cheddar, baked ricotta or hard-boiled sliced eggs.
