Fruity Meringue Sandwiches

November 12, 2010 By Delia

It usually takes ages for Meringues to cook. For these little bites of heaven, you can forget that – they’ll be cooked in just thirty minutes!

Experiment with different fillings to act as the sandwich fillings – a mix of different berries are great, as are fresh fruits, jams or using a variety of sauces as dips.

To serve 4

2 Large Eggs

115g Caster Sugar

Vanilla Extract

150ml Double Cream

300g Strawberries

1.       Preheat the oven to 140 C or Gas Mark 1, and line two baking trays with non-stick baking paper.

2.       Separate the eggs, and put the whites into a large bowl. Whisk until they form peaks – easiest with an electric whisk. As soon as they start to form peaks, you should stop, you don’t want to over-beat the whites.

3.       Start to add the sugar slowly, whisking all the time, and with the last amount, add a few drops of Vanilla Extract.

4.       Using a small spoon, place small piles of the mixture onto a baking tray, leaving plenty of space between each meringue. You should have enough mixture for around thirty meringues.

5.       Cook in the oven for twenty five minutes before checking if they are able to be lifted off the paper. If any are still sticking, cook for five minutes longer.

6.       Whip the double cream until it is thick, slice the strawberries and lay them out for people to either make into their own sandwiches, or make up already for people to eat off of serving trays

Homemade BLTs = Love

February 25, 2010 By Lorraine

A fresh BLT sandwich with lots of bacon, fresh...

On some days, it feels like the height of summer here. On those days, much as I love my usual comfort food of stews and roasts, all I want is a sandwich. A good, filling sandwich made with crispy fresh organic lettuce, juicy red tomato slices, and cool, creamy mayonnaise. A sandwich like this one: my homemade Bacon Lettuce & Tomato sandwich, otherwise known as the BLT.

Because however hot it gets, I always love bacon.

I’m fine with just this sandwich and a tall glass of water, but some people like adding sides to this delicious meal. My mom absolutely must have a small pile of barbecue Kettle chips, and my husband likes a crunchy kosher pickle to nibble on between bites.

Whichever way you want to have this sandwich, I urge you to have it. It’s perfection in a sandwich.

Homemade Bacon Lettuce & Tomato Sandwiches
Serves 2

4 slices good bread. Whole wheat is fine, but I prefer brioche (who doesn’t?)
6 slices thick bacon. Turkey is fine. Pepper bacon is awesome. So is regular smoked bacon. I could go on, you know.
Fresh lettuce, washed and spun-dried
Fresh red tomato, thickly sliced
Cheese slices. Optional. I LOVE provolone on this, but anything that you prefer. Or none at all.
Good mayonnaise. Hellmann’s/Best Foods has my heart.

Cook bacon over LOW heat. You want it crispy but not charred, with a little bit of chewiness in there. Set aside.
Lightly toast bread slices.
For each sandwich (this recipe makes two): Spread one piece of bread with mayonnaise. On the other slice of bread, make layers like so: Bacon, Tomato, Cheese, Lettuce. Top with mayonnaised slice of bread. Repeat for other sandwich.
