   Rolled sandwiches


The ideal bread for a rolled sandwich is thinly cut bread. Take a loaf of bread, cut vertically into two halves and remove crust from each half with a very sharp knife or electric knife. Using same knife cut horizontally rectangles of the inside bread to be squashed with rolling-pin. To obtain sandwiches of different sizes, repeat operation with whole-meal bread. Spread rectangles with soft butter and various fillings, that should however be smooth and creamy. Roll rectangles of bread with filling on inside and cut each roll into slices to obtain rolls, close with toothpick. Filling can be of all kinds, sweet and savory, simple or more intricate. For example:
  • sweet: butter and raspberry, peach or prune preserve - chocolate cream
  • savory: mascarpone cheese, lettuce and tomato ketchup - ricotta cheese and boiled spinach - soft cheese, lemon juice and pear purée - boiled eggs, watercress and mayonnaise - tuna sauce, thousand islands sauce and prawn cream - chopped, boiled chicken, mayonnaise and whole yogurt - paté and raw ham.

N.B. Ingredients are given for 4 portions.
