Sandwiches

OK. With a name like The Sandwich how could I NOT have some sandwich recipes laying around.

The sandwich. A truly versatile food at home everywhere from 5-star restaurants to back-alley street vendors. In fact, sometimes it's really quite difficult to tell which of the two has the better sandwich! 

It can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, as a party buffet food, or as a pure bachelor meal. 

You can dress it to the 9s or eat it bare. You can mass produce it or treat it as a work of art. 

The sandwich reigns in culinary creativity. I have extolled the virtues of MY personal favorite sandwich in the leftovers article, "The Perfect Sandwich."

Here are some inspirational examples for you to use while finding your own "Perfect Sandwich."

 

 

Greek-Style Pork Pocket Sandwich

 

1 pound pork strips

1/2 cup Caesar-style dressing (purchased)

2 pita loaves -- halved

4 tablespoons cucumber dressing (purchased)

1 small red onion -- peeled and thinly sliced

 

Stir together pork strips and Caesar dressing; place in a shallow pan and roast in a preheated 450 F oven until pork is crisp and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Open each pita half to form a pocket. Distribute pork among each half. Top each sandwich with a tablespoon of the cucumber dressing and some sliced red onion.

The Hamburger!!

 

1/3 pound ground beef -- more or less

1 hamburger bun OR 2 slices bread -- any flavor you like

1 slice kinds of cheese (optional)

1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional) -- to taste

1 tablespoon mustard (optional) -- to taste

1 tablespoon tomato ketchup (optional) -- to taste

3 slices pickles (optional)

2 leafs lettuce (optional)

1 slice onion (optional)

1 tomato slice (optional)

1/8 teaspoon salt (optional) -- to taste

Form the meat into a round patty about 3/8" thick. Sear the meat on both sides either in a very hot fry pan or over a hot fire. Cool down the cooking heat and cook till it's done however you like it flipping the meat from time to time so it won't burn. Rare burgers should be cooked hot and fast. Well-done burgers should be cooked slower over less heat. The cheese goes on the burger about a minute or two before removing from the heat. Don't flip the burger onto the cheese because this just makes a big mess. Sometimes covering the burger while the cheese is on it will help the cheese to melt. The cooking is the only tricky part. After that, plop the patty on the bun and layer on whatever ingredients look good to you.

One good variation is to make the burger with cheese and substitute the rye bread for the bun. Then grill the finished burger in hot butter like a grilled cheese sandwich. This is known as a patty melt. Very tasty!

Another great thing is to add a fried egg and serve as a breakfast sandwich!

NOTES : OK...I know that no manly man would NOT know how to make a hamburger. However, because it is an AMERICAN thing, some folks just don't get it. If you've ever had a typical English burger you know what I mean.

 

 

 

Grilled Cheese

Recipe By :Dee Bell

4 slices bread

1 tablespoon butter

 

ANY COMBINATION OF:

1 cup grated Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese or

Feta cheese

2 slices tomatoes (optional)

1 teaspoon minced green bell peppers (optional)

Butter bread slices inside and out, divide cheese evenly on slices, sprinkle with green pepper and lay a slice of tomato on one of every two bread slices. Put one bread slice on top the other and grill in a greased skillet or griddle on a low heat. Brown and turn to brown other side (about 5 minutes per side). When cheese is melted, sandwich is done. If you have difficulty getting the cheese to melt all the way through, cover sandwich with a lid for a minute.

NOTES : Your basic cheese sandwich, listed here as a reminder of quick meal possibilities. Try different breads: focaccia, rye, french, or whole wheat. You can add sliced meats, sautTed mushrooms, onions, crumbled bacon, roasted eggplant, tomatoes or peppers. Use your imagination and your leftovers and this sandwich can take many forms beyond its norm.

Grilled Chicken Breast Sandwiches with Roasted Peppers

Recipe By :Ed Kasky of Engine Co. No. 28, Los Angeles

6 chicken breast halves -- without skin boned and skinned

5 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon black pepper -- cracked

2 tablespoons fresh thyme

2 red bell peppers

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

Dash salt

3 ounces arugula leaves

3 red ripe tomatoes -- for slicing

12 slices multi-grain bread

STEP ONE: For the Chicken--

Rub the chicken breasts with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, the black pepper, and thyme leaves. Cover and refrigerate a minimum of 6 hours, preferably overnight. Remove from refrigerator 1 hour before cooking.

STEP TWO: For the Peppers--

Preheat oven to 500 degrees and place 2 red bell peppers on the rack and roast. Turn the peppers occasionally until the skins are completely charred (20 to 30 minutes). Place the peppers in a paper bag and seal the top. This allows them to steam and aids in peeling. Remove the peppers from the bag and remove the skins with your fingers. Sometimes a little cold running water helps. Remove the cores and seeds and slice into 1/4-inch strips. Toss the peppers with 2 tablespoons olive oil and store in a glass container until ready to use.

If a charcoal fire is available, you can roast the peppers directly on the coals. This can be very tricky, so you need to watch them constantly. As the peppers begin to char, turn them so they char evenly. Once you have an even char, proceed as in oven roasting. The charcoal roasting imparts a smoky flavor that enhances the sandwich.

STEP THREE: For the Sauce--

Mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, and dash of salt together well and refrigerate in a glass container until ready to use.

STEP FOUR: Assembling the Sandwiches--

The chicken, peppers, and mustard sauce can be prepared to this point a day in advance. When you are ready to serve the sandwiches, prepare a charcoal fire or preheat the broiler for the chicken and bread. Grill or broil the breasts 6 to 10 minutes per side, depending on the heat of your fire. As they are cooking, brush a little butter or olive oil on one side of 12 slices of the bread. When the breasts are cooked, transfer to a platter and allow to cool slightly, at which time you will need to either grill or broil the bread until slightly toasted. Spread a liberal amount of the mustard sauce on the oiled or buttered side of the bread slices so that the dry sides will be on the outside of the sandwich.

Slice the breasts on a diagonal and place each sliced breast on a slice of toasted bread. Top with some of the roasted pepper strips, 2 slices of tomato, some of the arugula, and the top piece of bread. Cut and serve as you would with any sandwich. Serve immediately.

Can be served with cole slaw or "Roasted Potato Salad" (see recipe.)
