Tell Me Your Sandwich

[davedove]

Make it real simple: Fresh baked homemade bread, a big slice of vine-ripened tomato, and a little mayo.

Of course, if you wanted to add a few slices of really crisp bacon, I certainly wouldn't complain.

Prime Rib Sandwich with Roasted-Garlic Dijonnaise



For the dijonnaise:
6 cloves garlic, peeled
3 sprigs rosemary (3 to 4 inches each)
1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
Several pinches kosher salt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
To assemble the sandwiches:
4 sandwich rolls, such as Kaiser or club rolls
12 oz. thinly sliced leftover Slow-Roasted Prime Rib; about 2 cups
2 cups sliced onion, sautéed
2 cups sliced mushrooms, sautéed
________________________________________
Make the dijonnaise:

Heat the oven to 350°F. Put the garlic in the center of a square of foil and arrange the rosemary sprigs on top. Drizzle the oil over the rosemary and garlic, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Gather the foil around the garlic into a pouch and put the pouch in a pie plate or other small baking dish (in case the oil leaks). Roast until the garlic is light golden and completely soft, about 30 minutes. Open the foil and let cool briefly. Discard the rosemary sprigs. Transfer the garlic to a small bowl and reserve the oil in the foil. Mash the garlic with the back of a spoon, and then stir in the mayonnaise, mustard, 1/2 tsp. of the garlic-rosemary oil, and a small pinch of salt.

Assemble the sandwiches:

Position a rack 3 to 4 inches from the broiler element and heat the broiler on high. Slice the rolls in half, set cut sides up on a baking sheet, and brush with the remaining rosemary-garlic oil. Toast under the broiler until golden brown, about 1 minute. Spread some Dijonnaise on the top and bottom of each roll. Arrange the beef over the bottom halves along with the sautéed onions and mushrooms and replace the tops

Store bought : a good cheese steak with ketchup and pickles from philadelphia. Or buffalo chicken. Cheese steak with blue cheese from philadelphia

Home made can't get much better the. Left over turkey sandwich on white with mayo salt and pepper. Or sliced hard boiled egg on white with mayo salt and pepper

Drac, I believe I may now be ruined for all lesser sandwiches until I make one of those. I believe I know what's for dinner tomorrow, with hopefully enough left overs to assemble one for lunch the next day.

Ooooh this thread is so not good for the diet.

I will say, that pressing the buttered outside of grilled sandwich, like a grilled cheese into some Parmesan cheese before it hits the pan does wonderful things.

Before I had to stop eating bread, I was a sandwich addict. My favorites...

Muffaletta - A bad one is very good. A good one can stop time while you are eating it.

Thin sliced beef and horseradish - Awfully hard to beat most days.

Turkey/Chicken Salad - Lots of great mayo, salt and pepper. Pure comfort.

BLT - Summer time I routinely got on BLT kicks and would eat them and nothing else for up to a week at a time, b-fast, lunch and dinner.

Italian Beef with spicy Giardiniero - mmmmmmmmmm

Cold Meatloaf - Almost as good as a basic PB&J.

Cheese and Onion - Slabs of both on good bread. Love it.


Gonna go eat a can of sliced pineapple now.....<grumble>

An over-easy egg sprinkled with salt and pepper sandwiched (if you will) between two slices of white bread spread with mayo on one and catsup on the other.

Oh and how could I leave out one of my faves - A top notch, pressed Cuban? Fatty pork roast, ham, swiss, pickles and mustard? darooool, daroooool.

Thanks Jim, but I've tried the gluten free imposters/recipes and that stuff in no way can be considered food. Better to just remember fondly the good stuff, rather than choke down a mere facsimile. Without good bread, all you have is a substandard sammich, and there is no excuse for that!

Doh! I left out the Cubano as well.

Getting the right bread for Cubanos is so difficult around here.
