Categories     Lunch     Quick and Easy     Sandwiches     Sandwich

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 strips thick-cut, naturally cured bacon (see note)
2 slices high-quality sandwich bread, such as shokupan
2 tablespoons (30ml) homemade or store-bought mayonnaise (see note)
1 1/2 cups finely shredded iceberg lettuce (see note)
4 thick slices ripe tomato (see note)
Coarse sea salt, such as fleur de sel or Maldon
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Add bacon and place a bacon press, skillet, or masonry trowel on top of it to keep it flat as it cooks. Cook until lightly browned on first side, about 5 minutes, then flip, cover again, and continue cooking until bacon is browned on both sides and fat has rendered, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
  • Place bread on same skillet or griddle and toast in bacon fat over medium-low heat, swirling occasionally, until evenly browned on first side. Flip and brown second side.
  • Lay toasted bread on a work surface and spread mayonnaise on both top faces. Divide lettuce evenly between both pieces of bread. Layer tomato slices on 1 piece of bread and sprinkle generously with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Break bacon slices in half and layer them onto the sandwich in 2 layers of 3 half slices each, alternating the orientation of bacon in each layer for more structural stability. Close sandwich and cut in half diagonally. Serve immediately.

BACON, LETTUCE, TOMATO WITH TOMATO JAM



BACON, LETTUCE, TOMATO WITH TOMATO JAM image

Categories     Sandwich     Tomato

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 20

SANDWICH INGREDIENTS
2 slices of good quality white or wheat bread, toasted
Lemony mayo (mix 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice into 1/2 cup of Hellman's mayonnaise)
4 strips of crisp, crisp bacon
Small handful of field greens or mesclun mix
Cutty's tomato jam*
*Cutty's Tomato Jam
TOMATO JAM INGREDIENTS
1½ pounds Roma tomatoes, cored and chopped coarsely
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons brandy (optional)
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 scant cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon red chile flakes
1 teaspoon salt
TOMATO JAM PREPARATION
Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized heavy-bottom pot, preferably nonstick. Cook over medium-high heat until bubbling.
Reduce heat to low and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick and syrupy, about 1 hour. Cool the jam; season with salt and pepper if necessary. Store in the fridge.

Steps:

  • 1. Spread lemony mayo on the bottom slice of toast. (The extra lemon in the mayo balances the rich sweetness of the tomato jam). 2. Add the greens and then the bacon strips. 3. On the other slice of toast, spread a modest layer of tomato jam. The stuff is ridiculously delicious, but it's also powerful stuff. On top of the tomato jam, spread another layer of lemony mayo. 4. Top the sandwich, serve with the tomato jam side on top, and yell, "Tijuana!"
