Following on from my previous pontification about the perfect slider, I have since discovered (and made) the perfect deli sandwich, thanks to Tina Fey's 30 Rock alter ego "Liz Lemon".
In Season Six, Liz expresses a secret ambition to have a sandwich named after her. The filling?
- Turkey
- Pastrami
- Swiss
- Russian dressing
- Coleslaw
- Potato chips
So feeling inspired, yesterday I made a Liz Lemon on caraway-seed infused light rye bread, with:
- 2 slices turkey breast,
- 1 slice pastrami
- 2 slices 'Swiss' cheese
- Handful of coleslaw (undressed)
- Handful Smith's Light potato chips
- Whole-egg mayonnaise (I have no idea what constitutes "Russian dressing")
The result? Amazing. The fusion of two meats - spicy and dark with lean and white, the healthy hit of fresh coleslaw with the greasy, salty crunch of potato chips all beautifully anchored with creamy mayonnaise is the ultimate posh dinner / deli sandwich.
Muddy Karpitz gave it the thumbs up. Next time I'm gonna chuck it under the grill and toast it!
