The Sandwich Thread

[zoebisch01]

This past weekend I saute'd two Portabello caps in some clarified butter, sprinkled them with a little Worcestershire and Soy and then put a heavy cast iron skillet on top to press them. While that was going, I lightly toasted two Kaiser rolls on the griddle. Preheated the broiler to 450. Did a shallow fry of some fine Jalapeno strips tossed in some Corn Starch. Laid down some Chipotle Mayo (Basically Mayonnaise and Chipotle con Adobo minced and mixed together) on the Roll, then the Portabello, next some ripe Avacado, then a slice of good ham off the bone. The top of the roll got a slice of Swiss, and then both halves under the broiler just to melt the cheese and warm the ham. Then the Jalapeno strips on top of the Ham. It was inspirational! Served it up with some Nugget Nectar and some Rye-PA that I have on tap. Damn I can still remember the taste!!

Post your sammich innovations (no strict rules on what defines a sammich, it can be open faced...but must have bread or a roll)!

That does sound incredible. I'd probably layer in a few slices of roasted red pepper.

Pan fried grouper, bacon, avacado, tomato, mayo on a toasted sandwich roll. The grouper club ftw.

A variation on a Cuban sandwich and a longtime favorite: ham, roasted pork tenderloin, Swiss cheese, brown mustard, salami and pickle relish on French, Italian or sourdough bread slathered in butter and grilled in a waffle iron.

fuck yes.

Big slices of sourdough

- romaine
- dill pickle slices
- Stone ground mustard
- thick cut, peppered bacon
- kosher salt
- fresh cracked pepper
- 2 eggs, over-medium

Simple, but amazing ever time.

Classic Cuban is probably my favorite sandwich of all time. Toss on some craut and its fucking genious.

Cuban sammiches done right are so damn good. Media Noche is another great one. Can't beat a classic Reuben though, or Pastrami on Rye....GOOD LORD.

Another nice one is:

1 Eggplant 1/4" slice, fried
Roasted Red peppers (I just use the flame, blacken them thoroughly and then into a bag then peel and seed when cool)
Sopressata, thinly sliced
Provolone or Mozzarella
Olive Oil
Finely chopped Oil cured olives (into a paste-like consistency)
Arugula
Ciabbata loaf

Halve the loaf and then layer the ingredients. Drizzle some Olive oil on and then press the sammiches, covered in the fridge overnight to let the flavors meld. Use a lot of weight (I try to get about 15 lbs on there). Then you take toothpicks to hold them together and cut into squares. Awesome for parties and so damn tasty, plus they look really cool.

You can do tons of variations on this...Basil/Prosciutto...etc/etc...
