Pronto Pollo

When throwing together a picnic basket or sandwich platter it’s always good to have a range of options that suit everyone’s taste and preferences. Here are a few ideas:

• Country Ham Sandwich with potato chips

-Smoked ham
-Organic Roma Tomatoes
-Vintage cheddar
-Old English Mustard
-1 packet of plain potato chips
-1 loaf of sour dough

I don’t need to tell you how to throw this together do I? This sandwich is as easy as well, making a sandwich but the fresh ingredients along with the saltiness and crunchy texture of the chips make this one a favourite with all the family and put a new spin on the old ham, cheese and tomato sandwich.

For best results cut the tomatoes in half the night before and sprinkle with a little thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper and Olive oil.

• Smoked Salmon and Crisp Apple

-Smoked salmon
-Dill
-Capers
-Crème Fraiche
-And finely sliced crisp apple served on a long doughy roll.

Just be sure to toss the apple through a little lemon water so that it doesn’t brown and stays nice and fresh.

• Free range chicken, guacamole and bacon

-Grilled chicken breast
-Mesculin Lettuce
-Sliced cucumber
-Grilled Bacon
-Aioli
-Guacamole
-Soft white bread is best for this recipe

For the Guacamole remove the stone from a ripe avocado, peel and roughly mash. Add some diced Spanish onion a splash of Tabasco sauce, 2 tablespoons of lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Feel free to mix in some sour cream if that’s to your liking.

• The Gourmet Vegetarian

-Grilled Capsicum
-Roast eggplant
-Semi dried tomato
-Grilled Zucchini
-Persian Feta
-Basil pesto
-Aioli

I like to serve this one on Turkish bread. You can either grill your own vegetables or buy them grilled and marinated from most supermarkets.
