Breadtime: Apple-oregano breads with leeks! The hearty whole‑grain loaves topped with creamy potato spread evoke memories of farm holidays.

Ingredients

  • 300 g waxy potatoes
  • 4 stems oregano
  • 70 g small leek stalk (1 small leek)
  • 150 g apples (1 apple)
  • 1 tsp germ oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 100 g spelt whole‑grain bread (2 slices)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Wash the potatoes and boil them with skins on for 20–30 minutes, depending on size.

  2. 2.

    Rinse the oregano, shake dry, pluck the leaves, set aside a few, and finely chop the rest.

  3. 3.

    Cut the leek lengthwise in half, wash, trim, and slice into about 1 cm wide strips (only the pale part).

  4. 4.

    Wash the apple, pat dry, cut it into roughly 1 cm thick rings around the core. Dice the apple slices finely.

  5. 5.

    Heat oil in a non‑stick pan. Add the leeks and steam covered over low heat for about 6 minutes.

  6. 6.

    Add the diced apples and chopped oregano and cook together for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.

  7. 7.

    Drain the potatoes, rinse under cold water to stop cooking, peel, and press them while still warm into a bowl using a potato masher or press.

  8. 8.

    Stir in the leeks and apple mixture well, season again, let cool slightly. Spread the mixture onto the bread slices, garnish with oregano leaves, and serve.
