Viviane's Sandwich
Recipes!
All who have been to the society's social events will know that our
wine and cheese evenings are almost reason enough to join the society
without staying to watch the films! This is because of the
magnificent spread put together by our Viviane. Following many
requests from members, she has agreed to part with a few of her secrets
and share some of her sandwich recipes.
1. Egg Crunch
|
2. Salmon
|
Bread:
- Warburton's Stoneground Wholemeal, medium sliced
Filling:
- Soft butter or Flora
- Eggs - hard boiled, chopped fine
- Celery - chopped
- Mixed peppers (red, yellow, green) - chopped
- Light Mayonnaise - any
- Salt, Pepper
Depending on quantity of sandwiches required, gauge how many eggs to
boil and quantity of celery and peppers to use. Same goes for
mayo, salt and pepper
Mix filling well and spread lightly on you buttered bread
Sandwich two slices together and serve
Et voila!
|
Bread:
- Warburton's medium sliced white loaf
Filling:
- Pink or Red John West Salmon
- Finely chopped Spring Onions
- Light Mayonnaise
- Pepper
Gauge quantity by eye, as required
Mix well with a fork
Spread on your buttered bread
Sandwich two slices together and serve
Bon Appetit!
|
3. Tuna
|
4. Ham and cucumber or ham and light cream cheese
or just ham.
|
For non-onion eaters, Viv
recommends her tuna sandwiches.
- Buy tuna in brine.
- Drain brine, then mix the tuna with small quantities
of corn (from a tin also) and fresh rocket (or rucola as Italians call
it).
- Add some light mayo if liked, and ecco (Italian for
voila!) you have the perfect sandwich
|
Also recommended is the
'ham medley' sandwich, a variety of which was served on the last film
night this year.
But the piece de resistance ham sandwich, which members loved,
was the ham accompanied by a chutney with a difference!
Bought from M & S, it is their black olive and sundried tomato
chutney. Will go well with cheese too!! |
60th Anniversary Last Night treats
We had 18 different cheeses on offer. Most of these were English cheeses with new, exciting flavours, plus several French, Italian, Dutch and German. Somewhere in there might have been a Danish one as well!!!
As far as the sandwiches were concerned, we had a veritable feast. In addition to old favourites such as Egg Crunch and Salmon with Spring Onions, we had one or two newcomers.
These were:
1. Ham with 'Light' cream cheese and garlic
2. Cucumber and 'Light' cream cheese and garlic.
3. Home roasted turkey with tomato and black olive chutney
All mayo used these days is of the 'light' variety.
Other things on offer were .... Vegetable Samosas, Baby pork pies with mustard and Scotch eggs with bacon.
|
