Steemit Sandwich Contest Week #55: Ham and Cheese. Though I think the cat wants a bite too.
Summer sunshine is being felt once again in Lobitos, Peru.
Tomorrow could be cold again, but I will take today's warmth. The surf the past few days has been very small and this means less people around. No worries as I still have my regulars around.
I was in town this morning for supplies. I go every two or three days as I like to keep things fresh. Whilst in town I checked the local supermarket for meats. Today I was lucky as they had ham off cuts. It is usually a mix of different hams and cooked meats. Generally I get good cuts in them and they are soooooo cheap it is unreal. For under 1$ I can make 5 good sandwiches out of it.
To all sandwich makers out there. Go check out this contest: Steemit sandwich contest week 55
Big shout out goes to @jaybird for organizing this contest.
I used the following to make this sandwich:
Bread:
- Wheat flour
- Water
- Yeast
- Black olives
- Garlic
- Rosemary powder
- Salt
Filler:
- Ham cuts
- "Swiss" Cheese
- Tomato
- Lettuce
- Red onion
- Parsley
- Celery
- Garlic
- Mustard
- Salt & pepper
- Salted butter
Chopped me some onions. Use as much as you can handle.
A nice big dollop of mustard.
Here are the ham off cuts I mentioned before. It is like a lucky dip, with some real nice surprises.
Chopped up some parsley for that added fresh flavour.
Ok this is a new one for me. Celery is something I rarely use, but I have been asked by a few and it makes a nice crunchy filler.
Mix it all together...
Today I had some olive and garlic dough left over. So I made myself one of those breads.
Whilst still warm, butter her up and she melts so easily. Slice of Swiss cheese to warm up too.
In goes a nice portion of ham salad filler.
Some shredded iceberg lettuce.
Proof of existence :)
Oh little cat, I am sorry, but this one is mine :)
LOL that poor cat....rough life! This sandwich is a beast! Well done, but you could have shared a bit you know ;) Nice you can get those off cuts at such a bargain, 5 sandwiches for under a dollar, a real steal. Love it!
