{clubbing}
I remember my clubbing days back in PE so well – we had to take our sunglasses along as we only left the club around 6 am the next day. After a night of dancing and “patsy’ing” sunglasses was the only protection against the glaring sun…! Those were indeed amazing and carefree days + nights!
{greasy hangover remedy}
We also usually ended up at someone’s house starving for something – anything …that might ease the heavy hangover…! It was always something greasy and over the top from bacon and eggs to tangy cheese toast – we did not mind, as long it had some flavour and far reaching medical properties when it comes to treating the dehydration and excesses from the night before….
These days I have evolved somewhat and the greasy door stopping sandwiches of an adventurous youth have given way to some things a little more sophisticated.
{boxing day leftover club sandwich}
Let me share with you my take on a club sandwich today – which will go down a treat come Boxing Day. It is just the right Christmas leftover sarmie…. I used some of the leftover gammon, fresh lettuce and tomatoes. The cheese I used is the deliciously salty, fried Halloumi. But you can choose any type of cheese – I would suggest that you go with something like Emmental cheese.
Always remember to add mayonnaise to each slice of bread otherwise the toast of your Club sandwich will tend to remain dry. Serve this dish with a few extra slices of gherkins and mustard on the side. This is simple, honest and tasty.
- 6 slices of white bread, lightly toasted
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tsp mustard of your choice
- 2 slices of cooked gammon
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 2 gherkins, sliced
- lettuce, sliced
- Fried Halloumi cheese
- 4 large slices of Halloumi
- 1 Tbsp butter
- squeeze of lemon juice
- salt and black pepper for seasoning
- Fry the Halloumi in hot butter till golden brown.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Smear mayonnaise generously on each toast. And now add or stack your ingredients to your personal preference or taste.
