Amazing news: eat in my kitchen is Yahoo Food’s ‘Blogger of the Week’!! Click here to take a peek in my kitchen and read the interview with the wonderful Rachel Tepper about sweets and plans in life!
Distracted by this excitement, I felt a bit indecisive in the kitchen, an unusual state of mind for me especially when it’s about my Sandwich Wednesdays. To come up with a yummy new creation between two slices of bread every week has been one of the easier tasks since I started eat in my kitchen.
Sandwich recipes come to me quite naturally, luckily, I don’t have to think much about it. And it would have been the same this week if I hadn’t gotten the stubborn idea stuck in my head that I wanted to empty an open jar of my spicy rhubarb chutney (amongst a few other jars) and use it for a sandwich. I was hardheaded and that always blocks my creativity. Soon we’ll be in Malta and our apartment will be in the hands of a trusted friend while we’re away, including our fridge which I’m aiming to empty completely and to have in a sparkly and spotless state by the day of our departure.
So, the chutney had to go and a sandwich had to be made. Pastrami seemed perfect but the quality at the store didn’t convince me. When I spotted roast beef, freshly cut, bright pink on the inside with a spiced crust my chutney sandwich was saved. Still at the market, I threw some fresh chili peppers and a rustic French loaf into the basket and off I went. The first bite confirmed my suspicions, the beef and spicy rhubarb are a match made in heaven!
