The simple sandwich. Bread, filling, bread. But with all the combinations of fillings and types of bread, ranging in size from a quick snack to a monstrous meal, the sandwich is anything but simple.
I've recently discovered a couple of new fillings which I've fallen in love with and that have become my go to.
Bloody Mary Prawns
Combine a classic prawn cocktail sandwich with a Bloody Mary, and you're on to a sure winner. Simply mix cooked prawns with some tomato ketchup, mayonnaise, a few drops of tabasco, a drizzle of Worcestershire sauce, a squeeze of lemon, a pinch of salt (celery salt would be perfect if you have it to hand) and a kick of vodka. Pile between slices of chunky granary bread or chewy sourdough topped with crisp lettuce for a summery, fun, lunchtime treat.
Japanese Inspired Egg Sandwich
Mash hard boiled eggs with a tablespoon of sesame seeds, Kewpie mayonnaise and a teaspoon of the miso of your choice - my current favourite is brown rice miso for it's rich, deep flavour and varied texture. Sandwich between soft white slices from a tin loaf, or go all out and indulge in shokupan, Japanese milk bread, the fluffiest, most melt in the mouth bread you'll ever encounter.
