    Making Great Sandwich
    Bread:
    You can use any bread you can fill, such as ciabatta, baguette, sourdough bread, or bagel. If you are going to use a higher fat bread such as bagel, be sure to grill it a little.
    Lubricants:
    You should choose a fatty product such as labneh, mayonnaise, butter, cream, olive paste, tomato paste. It both gives flavour and provides insulation between bread and ingredients. This way, when you put a juicy ingredient such as tomato or cucumber in the sandwich, these products will not wet the bread and soften it.
    Cheese
    Using spreadable cheeses such as labneh and cream cheese alongside aged cheeses such as kashar, tulum and white cheese is a very good way to increase the taste.
    Meat
    Be careful to use meats with a dominant flavour, such as bacon and dried meat, with mild cheeses, and meats such as salami, ham, and smoked meats with aged cheeses. You can make the meat more voluminous by folding it, or you can cut it into small pieces and distribute it evenly throughout the sandwich.
    Greens& Veggies
    Whatever greens you use, be sure to wash them and dry them thoroughly. Be sure to season ingredients such as tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage and onions or flavor them with pickle juice.
    To roast, fry or caramelize:
    To increase the flavor of the sandwich, for example, if you are using peppers, you can roast them, if you are using potatoes, you can fry them, and if you are using onions, you can caramelize them.
    Storing the Sandwich
    Wrapping the sandwich and letting it sit increases its flavor. If you are going to eat it within a few hours, you can wrap it in stretch film, or if you are going to make it in the morning and eat it in the evening, you can wrap it in baking paper and store it.
    Smoked Meat Sandwich
    1/3 baguette bread
    3 tablespoons of labneh cheese
    5 slices of tomato
    2 slices cheddar cheese
    100 g cabbage
    1 red pepper
    2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    Potato chips
    2 slices any kind of smoked meat
    3 slices of aged kashar or Tulum cheese
    4 slices avocado
    • Cut the bread in half and grill the inside
    • Spread the labneh on both sides of the bread. It will prevent the bread from getting wet and keep it dry and crispy.
    • Sprinkle a pinch of salt on the thinly sliced tomatoes and place them on the labneh.
    • Add cheddar cheese and finely chopped cabbage on top.
    • Roast 1 red pepper well, cut it into long thin strips and add it to the sandwich. Then add mayonnaise and potato chips.
    • Place smoked meat, tulum cheese, avocado and cover the ingredients with other half of the bread.

    Love this video. I worked in a deli for 14 years. I use to be queen of sandwich making. I did exactly what you are doing. In some of my meat sandwiches I would put apricot jam mixed in my cream cheese. Sounds weird but my customers loved it with all the other ingredients including sprouts. Seasoning is important.

    Thank you Refika, I love that the tips in all your videos are very useful in so many situations.
    I have learnt a lot about the science of cooking in a simple manner through your videos.
    I love your Turkish recipes, it would also be interesting to see your take on different cuisines.
    Or simplifying some of the more time-consuming dishes we all love but don't have time to make.
    I would also love a meal-prep series of some kind which focuses on nutrition/affordability/prep-time!

    At this point in time, I think elevating everyday food is a great idea. Most of us are looking at how we can save money and the planet, but that's not always easy. By everyday food I'm thinking about lunch and dinner. You've already introduced me to great recipes along this line, so I look forward to more tips. Thanks for sharing your secrets.

  • @friesencj1
    @friesencj1 4 місяці тому +3

    I love what you and your team are doing with the sandwiches to elevate them by having a formula to follow in preparation. People with food allergies and intolerances can find meal preparation extremely difficult and uninspiring. Trying to find a gluten free bread that tastes good is a task in itself. Adding additional food restrictions to making sandwiches brings in a whole new dimension to becoming creative. Making pesto spreads from another nut, vegetable or lettuce such as broccoli or arugula to replace butter because of a dairy allergy helps to level up the sandwich. Flavoured mayo also adds to the experience. Unfortunately vegan cheese really doesn’t cut it for me. I’m sure there is something out there, but I haven’t found it. Commercially produced deli meats can contain gluten, sulphites and other potential food allergens. Mustards are a lovely addition but are also a potential allergen just as peppers are to a small but growing population . Micro greens and sprouts - I don’t recall you ever growing those. You should as they would be a wonderful addition to your recipes/meals. Find a way to grow them with as little waste and without having to invest in lots of fancy equipment. Everyone can do this at home all year round if they are motivated - this would expand from sandwich to vegetable bowls/salads.

    I love this kind of series. It makes me a better “no recipe” cook. Lots of times I just want to figure out how to use what I have rather than making a recipe. And Rafika and her team are just amazing. Thank you so much. ❤

I was so much inspired by Turkish copper utensils and bought a lot of them, but all of them turned black. I am afraid that blackness gives away harmful substances while cooking on them. Please please make a video on maintaining kitchen utensils healthy 🙏 Million thanks in advance!

    Thank you for all the great ideas for sandwiches. One thing I try to follow in all food is the four basics to include: salt, fat, acid and heat. Just including these can vastly improve any food.
    I know you’ve made pepper and tomato paste in large quantities because you use it all the time. Is there easier ways to make those for someone who doesn’t need a dozen jars at once? Or doesn’t have access to dry them in the sun? I’m really interested in making all kinds of mixes and condiments mostly because I’m gluten sensitive but just as importantly to keep chemical additives out of my food. I’ve also tried cheese making as well. Thanks as always for your great ideas and dishes.
