A classic Club Sandwich recipe with turkey, ham and bacon piled high, along with cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomato, in between fresh slices of toasted bread spread with homemade mayo.
I’m sure we’ve all heard of a Club Sandwich, and if you haven’t – it’s a must try! This double decker sandwich is super easy to make, piled high with fresh ingredients, layered between 3 slices of toasted bread.
Ingredients
Bread – Use your preference of bread! Just make sure it’s toasted.
Mayo – You can use my recipe for homemade mayonnaise or use your favourite!
Meat – I used cooked bacon, deli turkey and ham slices!
Tomato – Fresh tomatoes, sliced.
Cheese – I used cheddar cheese, substitute for any cheese of your preference.
Lettuce – I like using butter lettuce but iceberg or romaine works great too.
First, prepare the spices. Crack the shells off the African nutmeg (ehuru), then roast the nuts over a flame before grinding it into a fine powder. Grind the uziza and uda seeds into a fine powder. Blend the red pepper and yellow scent peppers.
Wash the chopped cowtail thoroughly. Season with salt and soy seasoning cubes (I use Knorr brand). Cook until it’s tender. (You can use a pressure cooker to cook it faster if you have one.)
When the meat is tender, add the blended peppers. Add the ground spices and 3 cups of water. Allow the mixture to boil for about 5 minutes.
Throw in the sliced basil and stir. Taste for salt. Allow to boil for 2 more minutes, then turn off the heat.
