11/10 yum

First time cooking a grilled cheese since emigrating to Spain. Went to Aldi up the street from my VRBO and bought a loaf of Spanish rustico brand bread, a pack of queso fundido sandwich slices, and a bottle of Hellmans Mayonnaise (pleasant surprise). Had to memorize the stove and timing as it’s very different on a Spanish countertop stove vs the gas stove I had back in the states.

Plus two singles for tomorrow

Dino kale with lemon & a quick mayo-based Caesar dressing and turkey breast pounded thin breaded with pistachio-panko Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs on homemade garlic knot buns. It was somehow not too rich or over the top, which was a goddamn miracle

(If you're wondering where the other two cutlets disappeared to, they're in my freezer to fry off tomorrow)

Had leftover fajita stuff from the night before. Decided sandwich. Added a little pepper jack and mayo. Came together nicely

The Spanish tomato salad itself had cured ham in it. Pure porky indulgence

The inspiration comes from one i ate at a festival last year and it’s been haunting me ever since, i couldn’t find any recipe similar so here’s our first attempt at recreating it.

We bought « pain de mie » from a bakery and put salted butter and oak smoked vintage cheddar (godminster) on every slices.

I never cooked pulled pork before so i bought some frozen one from Picard and redid the seasoning with salt and pepper, oregano, barbecue sauce and a little of extra spicy ghost pepper barbecue hot sauce.

I thinly sliced apples (it needed an acid taste to break all that fat), next time I’ll probably try to marinate them in lemon juice and oregano (so i don’t have to put oregano in the pork).

We cooked them (with butter in a pan) on low eat with a cover on top because we wanted the cheese to melt evenly while keeping the bread light.

10/10 would recommend as it was.
I was a bit shy with the apples because it’s my first time using them in a sandwich but they deserved to be there. I’ll also try to make pulled pork myself next time, but the one i bought was really good once we seasoned it a bit. It was very satisfying and i’ll try to perfect it !

I go here every year for my birthday. Pastrami, corned beef, slaw and Russian dressing on rye.

Plastic cheese is plastic and hurts my soul, but does have a select few useful applications. Especially after many, many beers

Made a thicker and creamier than usual chicken tikka masala and put it on toasted croissant bread with some shredded cheese. Weird? Maybe. Delicious? Definitely.

Very simple

Not technically a sandwich but a southwest chicken wrap sandwich
