British Sandwich Week - what's in yours

The ultimate 'food to go'

The modern sandwich is named after Lord John Montague, the 4^th Earl of Sandwich who was a avid gambler.

Whilst playing he wouldn't stop to eat but asked casino waiters to bring him slices of meat between two pieces of bread.

The habit caught on with his fellow players who began to order 'the same as Sandwich!' Hence - the 'sandwich'.

To celebrate British Sandwich Week (19th - 26th May) we have a few very tasty ideas to share.

Sandwiches
- what's in yours ?

Just add the taste of Stokes ... here

Prawn Cocktail Croissant

A tasty filling doesn't always need to sit between two pieces of bread. There are so many content / wrap combinations to enjoy.

This lovely, buttery croissant contains a luscious salad of prawns and cucumber in a Bloody Mary Rose Sauce comprising 3 or 4 parts Stokes Real Mayonnaise to 1 part Stokes Bloody Mary Ketchup.

Alternatively, you could use Stokes Garlic Mayonnaise. It has creamy aioli authenticity that's perfect with prawns. Instead of diced cucumber, slice a red pepper and perhaps even a red chilli.

This would be delicious in a buttery croissant or sweet brioche bun.

Mustard Hummus Toasties

There are so many really good supermarket hummus options it really doesn't make sense to make your own.

If you do want to have a go at your own hummus, try this basic. Combine a washed and drained 200 g tin of chickpeas with 2 tbsp of lemon juice, 2 grated garlic cloves, 1 tsp of ground cumin, 1 tbsp of Tahini and 4 tbsp of water in a food processor and blend to a creamy puree.

To make the mustard hummus, add 2 or 3 tsp of Stokes Classic English Mustard to the mixture (or more to taste). You add this to the pureed combination, as you can to elevate a shop bought tub.

Add sliced olives and radish together with almonds toasted in a coating of Stokes Original BBQ Sauce and toast under the grill.

Roast Beef & Onion Wrap

It's the onions that are special in this one. The beef can be slices of leftover Sunday Lunch or get some juicy slices from the deli counter.

There's all sorts we can do with the onions though. Slice lots and gently fry them in butter or oil (or both) to caramelise them. Add 2 tbsp of Stokes Red Onion Marmalade. The sweet onion reduction will help the caramelisation of the onions.

For further sweet notes and Persian spices add 1 or 2 tbsp of Stokes Brown Sauce. If you prefer a smoky finish with warming chilli notes, add Stokes Chipotle Ketchup instead of the Brown Sauce.
