  • This is an attempt to take one of the dishes from my recent cooking challenge video (that was already quite a successful recipe) and elevate it into something superb.

    Recipe notes:
    Ingredients (for the sandwich):
    125g Chicken thigh meat, skin removed and reserved
    3 Slices wholemeal bread (or any bread you prefer)
    50g Red Leicester cheese, grated (or any good 'melting' cheese)
    25g Salted butter
    1 teaspoon yeast extract (or a piece of a chicken stock cube)
    25g Cooked carrot (mine was leftover from being baked under the other chicken legs, seasoned with garlic granules and salt, the previous day - the carrot adds some moisture and golden colour - because chicken thigh can sometimes cook a little bit grey)
    Sprigs of parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme ( • Scarborough Fair - Aco... )
    1 Tablespoonful chopped crow garlic (you could use chives or the green parts of spring onion)
    Black pepper to season
    (For the sauce):
    Half an apple, peeled and cored
    50g tomato ketchup
    1 large red chilli (more if you prefer)
    Method
    Make the sauce by blending the apple, chilli and ketchup together until smooth.
    Fry the chicken skin until crispy, reserve the fat that comes out and blend this with the butter and set aside. Shred the crisp chicken skin and set aside.
    Put half of one slice of bread, plus the carrots, rosemary and thyme in a food processor and run until broken up into crumbs.
    Add the chicken meat, yeast extract and crow garlic, run the processor again until blended into an even textured sausage meat.
    Flatten the mixture into a patty that is a little broader than your bread slices and place in a cold frying pan; season with black pepper. Fry gently to cook the first side.
    Chop the parsley and mix with the grated cheese.
    Press the sage leaves onto the uncooked upper side of the patty, then flip it over to cook the second side. Season the now-upper side with more black pepper, then add half the cheese/parsley mix.
    Spread one slice of bread with the butter/chicken fat mix and place this. buttered-side up on top of the patty/cheese in the pan. Flip over to fry the bread.
    Add the remaining cheese and parsley to the now-upper surface. plus the shredded crispy chicken skin, plus another slice of bread, spread with fat as before and placed buttered-side up.
    Flip one last time and fry until both sides of the bread are crisp.
    Slice into jaunty, pleasing pieces, arrange and sprinkle with more chopped parsley and thin slices of chilli. Serve with the dipping sauce on the side.

      @shyrealist There is a traditional English ballad entitled “Scarborough Fair” with lyrics that begin:
      “Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
      Remember me to one who lives there, for she once was a true love of mine.”
      There have been endless versions, but that is essentially the idea.

    Hi Shrimp! I have a fun idea/suggestion for a new kind of food challenge: I love a good portmanteau, and really enjoy your use of “oneion”, so I was hoping to convince you to challenge yourself to see how far you could get in the way of a recipe list (and then the meals made from said list) using only ascending number-based portmanteaus and that quantity of each food! So, oneion, twomatoes, threetroot, fourk sausages, etc.!

    About that bread-
    After my wife’s diagnosis of diabetes we were advised to stop using white bread and go with what’s sold as whole wheat bread in America, which I’m told is pretty close to English whole meal bread.
    My wife loves grilled cheese sandwiches and it was a bit of a struggle to adapt to using whole wheat because the surface looked burnt. Well, if I had made a grilled cheese with white bread and it came out that color it would have been burnt.
    That was more than a decade ago and now it’s normal for us. So much so that last time we went out to a restaurant for breakfast and got a choice of breads for toast, I (not a diabetic) decided to have white toast.
    I didn’t like it. It seemed tasteless, textureless and just… bland.
    I guess the moral of the story is try new things even if people keep telling you that it’s good for you. You might like it.

I would love to go enjoy meals with you anytime even though it would be quite difficult because I live in America and I don't have a passport never have, i'm one of those americans that grow up thinking America is all there is unfortunately and very sadly😮 I also found your grocery stores to be quite fascinating you don't have much of a selection as far as I can tell american stores are huge and if they don't have it and you want it you just tell them and they will order it for you.. Now please have a wonderful day and pass on some love to Jenny for me as well 😘 one more thing foraging is completely out i've lived in cities my whole life I wouldn't begin to know what to pick even if I went out to one of the nearby woods although the farmers markets helped me a lot with my fruits and vegetables taste so much better than the ones you buy in the stores here.

    Wow. Nice one Shrimp. Haven’t managed to haul myself off the sofa to figure out dinner yet……that’s just made me more confused now as I want to eat something complicated and flavourful, but have about enough energy and coordination to make a cupasoup. And potentially shouldn’t be allowed to use the kettle so it might have to be cold……..

    Looks amazing. I wonder what difference it would make to add the sauce to the bread before putting it on the patty, and if it would be positive, negative or just different?
