Prawn, Radish and Cucumber Open Sandwich
Prawn Radish and Cucumber Open Sandwich
"This is a delicious way to have prawns/shrimp with plenty of mixed salad leaves, cucumber and radish with a lavish amount of this beautiful sauce that you could choose to go the proper grown up way and add a little brandy. A must try ! This is also a great idea for any entertaining meal to serve as a starter as it is very easy to put together if you have everything in terms of ingredients and sauce prepared and ready to go. It is ready in a flash."
NotesI don’t normally butter my bread but if you wish obviously you can do that, but I do sometimes is spread some nice and rich cheese such as a Gorgonzola or any creamy tasty cheese on the bread. Oh, I love that!! Bring it on!!I’m not really a butter person but I’d never say no to any good old cheese. Oh, la, la!??
Few topping combinations and ideas as mentioned:
• blue cheese, pear and hazelnut; • roast beef, horseradish, and pickle;• pickled herring ( another one of my faves) • smoked salmon creme cheese and dill;• roasted tomato and cream cheese; • tuna melts with red onion and Parmesan;• prosciutto with peach and feta cheese crumbles • prosciutto with cucumber and hummus• hummus olives cucumber and smoked salmon; • boiled egg with prawns and avocado; • calamari instead of prawns ?
Seriously the options are endless. Just open your fridge and see what do you see/have in there that would make a delicious open sandwich.
Truthfully the topping is very important obviously for this to come out a treat, but for me what it really makes the sandwich special is the actual bread. I really like making my own bread and I never make a plain white bread... I just go crazy with seeds, spirulina, spelt flour, Graham flour, malted one with seeds like I have just made yesterday. Some more bread recipes are on the way.Here is for now a recipe for a nice homemade spelt flour bread.
