Walnut, queso and membrillo sandwich
A sweet and savory sandwich with flavors from Spain
Servings: 1 person
Ingredients
- a roll or two slices of bread per sandwich toasted if desired
- membrillo, sliced to fit the bread
- cheese, preferably a sharp cheese, sliced to fit the bread Manchego and Cheddar are good choices
- 1 handful shelled walnut halves or pieces
Instructions
- Briefly blitz the walnuts in a food processor to make a chunky "butter." Alternately, you can just lay the walnut halves on the bread. I've found the butter stays in place better.
- Arrange the bottom of the roll or a slice of bread on your work surface
- Spread the walnut paste and top with membrillo and cheese.
- Cover with the top of the roll or remaining slice of bread.
Notes
If you can't find membrillo or another type of of fruit paste, try a mild apple butter or apple jelly. Try it grilled!
