  2. 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and roast the almonds for about 4 minutes, turning them over. Remove the peppers from the oven and cover with damp kitchen paper. Wash, clean and roughly dice the chillies. Peel garlic.

  3. 3

    Remove the pepper skin. Clean the peppers and dice them coarsely. Finely puree garlic, chilli, almonds, 3 tbsp. oil and paprika in a universal chopper. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cut bread into thin slices, place on a baking tray and spread a thin layer of 2 tbsp. oil.

    Roast in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ circulating air: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 5 minutes. Wash and halve the tomatoes. Clean, wash and spin dry lettuce and cut leaves into wide strips.

  5. 5

    Clean and wash spring onions and cut into thin rings. Roughly tear ham slices. For the salad dressing, mix half of the pesto and stock. Arrange bread, salad, tomatoes, spring onions and ham.
