Reference figures for a dish as it is commonly cooked — never a measurement of your plate. The range is the honest part: two kitchens make this differently. In the app, a photograph replaces the guess.
Ingredients
Serves 2 · dimmer marks are storecupboard
- 200groast turkey
- 4 slicesgood bread
- 2 tbspmayonnaise
- 1little gem lettuce
- 1tomato
- to tastesalt and pepper
Method
3 steps
chop · 5m
Turkey sliced thin against the grain, tomato sliced and salted on a piece of kitchen paper.
fold · 2m
Mayonnaise spread edge to edge on both slices — it is the waterproofing as much as the flavour, and bare bread under a tomato is a soggy sandwich by lunchtime.
finish · 3m
Lettuce down first against the bread, then turkey, then tomato in the middle where it cannot touch either slice. Cut across the diagonal.
Worth knowing
The sandwich is named after the 4th Earl of Sandwich, who wanted to eat without leaving the card table — the story is probably true and definitely useful.
