There’s no avoiding the fact that he loves sandwiches, so
you may as well try to make him the best. This recipe was originally meant to
be an Italian antipasto. It’s ended up his favourite sandwich filling. Would be
great for a picnic.
45g butter
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
4 tbsp marsala wine
2 tbsp sweet mustard
8 slices brown bread
3 lettuce leaves, chopped
1 tbsp flat leaf parsley, chopped
Salt & pepper
Melt 1 tbsp of the butter with the oil and sauté the chicken
until golden. Add the marsala and salt & pepper and cook for about 5
minutes, until the liquid is gone. Remove the chicken and allow it to cool.
Cream the butter with the mustard. Many Polish mustards are
mild and sweet so choose something not too overpowering. Also the bread should
be as fresh as possible. If he’s having a sandwich lunch, make it as good as it
can be.
Spread the butter/mustard on the bread, and top with the
lettuce and then the chicken. Sprinkle
with the parsley and top with the other slice of bread. Note this is one of the
rare occasions that he will willingly eat brown bread!
Serve with watercress and radishes.
Properly this is an Italian starter but the boy really sees
this as lunch, and will want to eat enough of these to make it a meal. Don’t
fight it; though do try press the watercress and radishes. Wedges of tomato
won’t go amiss either.
