#3 The Mighty Duck


Savoury olives and duck pate make the basic ingredients for this one. Although quite intense, it is possible to make this more palatable by replacing the olives with gherkin .

The Mighty Duck:

Bread;
Oaty Wholemeal
Duck Pate;
Spread lavishly
Bacon;
Grilled or fried with coriander (often used in curry to add flavour),
Olives;
Cut up into small pieces. One per sandwich should do.
Tomato; thin slices. Too thick and the sandwich becomes too moist
Lettuce; a couple of layers for crunch, and keeps the tomato juice out of the bread.

Side; breadsticks and stuff

#2 The Spicy Cheesy Monster


This savoury sandwich is both as rich in texture as it is flavour. The sophisticated equivalent of putting crisps in the sandwich, bombay mix adds the crunch that is often lacking from these lip-smackers.

The Spicy Cheesy Monster:

Bread;
Lightly grilled brown bread
Hardcore Cheddar;
Grilled onto one of the slices, with...
Worcestershire Sauce;
(or Mushroom Ketchup) sparingly applied and
Bombay Mix;
Probably best without the chick peas, sprinkled onto the cheesy slice, finally...
Chili Flakes and Sliced Red Onion; Go easy on the onion. Done

Side: Salad and if you're feeling up to it some fried mushrooms.

#1 Falafel Full-Throttle

This delicious winter warmer is a taste explosion for a rainy November sunday. Bringing savoury eastern tastes together with traditional winter sweet preserves, this sandwich is the perfect introduction to the Sunday Sandwich blog.

The Falafel Full-Throttle:

Bread; doorstop traditional wholemeal,
Butter; sparingly applied,
Thick cured pork ham; one large piece, folded, or two smaller layers,
Quince Jelly: spread onto the ham, not a huge amount necessary,
Falafel; balls cut in half, grilled until browning or until they smell good. quickly placed onto the jelly layer so the heat soaks up the sweet taste of the jelly,
Rocket Salad; again, not too much, just enough to contrast with the sweet quince jelly,
Super mature Cheddar; Grated (optional)

Side: Red grapes. Overall the sandwich is quite savoury, so the sweet red grapes bring back and reinforce the flavour of the jelly.
Enjoy
