Smoke meat sandwich
This is how to make a tasty and economical lunch sandwich that will leave you full and happy and ready to conquer the afternoon with gusto.
Background
A crucially important ingredient in a good smoked meat sandwich is the rye bread. Unless the rye bread is fresh and tasty, the sandwich suffers greatly. In Toronto I have never yet found a bakery or any other source that will supply a decent rye bread. Because of that, to get a good smoke meat sandwich we must make our own bread.
Ingredients
- Loaf of rye bread.
- Ready Made Smoked meat package. (enough for 2 sandwiches)
- Jar of Pickles
- Mustard.
- Red Pimento Pepper.
Preparation
- Begin the preparation of the rye bread ( recipe ) one night in advance, and finish it in the morning and let it stand until you need to slice it for the sandwiches.
- Boil a pot of water, once it is boiling, throw the smoked meat packet unopened into the water and let it heat there about 20 minutes. One packet makes 2 sandwiches so put as many packets in the water as you are going to need.
- Slice two slices of bread for each sandwich and spread mustard on one side of each slice.
- Open one bag of meat for each two sandwiches, take out half the meat and place it on top of one of the slices of bread. Garnish with a slice of pickle and one or two slices of pimento pepper. Cover with second slice of bread, cut in two and serve.
A glass of beer goes quite nicely with your sandwich.
