BIG SHARING SANDWICHES.

PULL APARTS
Caring, sharing sandwiches are brilliant with a steaming mug of (hopefully homemade) soup, they are comforting, super-simple to prepare, impressive looking & a big delicious mouthful to share with your lover, your Gran or a bread loving casual acquaintance!
PULL APARTS take minutes to prepare...for two greedy people you'll need a soft batch loaf, a bread knife, an oven & your ingredients. Cut the loaf evenly into eight, taking care not to cut through to the bottom so all the slices stay connected...place your ingredients in each cut, then bake in a medium heat oven 15-20 mins until piping hot :-
CORNED BEEF, CHEDDAR, RED ONION & HORSERADISH MAYO - Slice that beef & onion finely!
TURKEY, HONEY MUSTARD, GRUYERE & MUSHROOMS - Thinly sliced turkey, saute the mushrooms in butter or olive oil.
SMOKED HAM & CHILLI CHEESE.
BRIE, TOASTED WALNUT, CRANBERRY & APPLE SAUCE - C'mon make your own apple sauce with bramleys...use some dried cranberries.
RAREBIT & PICKLED ONION - Make some Welsh rarebit mix then slather it in each slice with sliced pickled onions. Heres the Rarebit recipe:
4oz/100g Cheddar cheese.
3 tablespoons bitter or any beer.
1oz/25g butter.
1 teaspoon English mustard.
Melt these slowly together over a low heat.
PETIT RATATOUILLE, MOZZARELLA & PESTO - Cut the courgette, aubergine, peppers & onion small, roast rather than stew, add pesto to taste, & throw in a few olives.

PITTA MELTS
Get some big pittas, carefully slice open, add your filling ingredients, bake until hot & melted..chop up!
AUBERGINE PARMIGIANA - Roast garlicky aubergine slices, tomato pasta sauce, grated mozzarella, & lotsa parmesan!
PEPPERONI PIZZA - Sliced pepperoni, peppers, your choice of sauce & cheese....
You can really work this pizza theme, add ham, chilli, bbq chicken....got you thinking!
HUMMUS, SPINACH LEAVES & HALLOUMI - Add a bit of mozzarella for melting purposes, some chilli flakes too.
FRIDGIDAIRE -Whats in there?...Do they go together?..Have I created a pitta melt classic?....probably!
