What Are Some Easy Sandwich Recipes? - Yahoo Recipe Search
YummlyI don’t eat a lot of beef. I love beef, especially good beef. Yet, I very rarely eat it. When I eat protein, I typically eat pork, chicken, shrimp and/or salmon. I occasionally pepper in beef, turkey, duck, mussels and other forms of walking, running and/or swimming creatures, but only ever to change it up. And, while beef is a very common meat, I tend not to buy it or cook it. I really don’t know why! I’ve decided to beef up my site, a bit. You’ll notice I cooked up an open-faced meatloaf sandwich, just the other day. Today? Asian-y Beef Short Ribs! I’m looking to give beef some love! This one is a bit outside my typical repertoire, which is either good news or bad news, depending on who you are and what you’re all about. Aside from the fact that this is about big boney beefy goodness, it also involves a prepared shortcut, as well as a slow cooker. I get lots of requests for more slow cooker recipes. I listen. In kind, here’s a doozy! (I’m still working up the desire to grab an Instant Pot. I still view them as voo-doo, but … don’t tell anyone I said that) Prepared Shortcut: There’s a silly joke I love. It goes something like this … A young woman comes home from college for a weekend visit. She heads into the kitchen for something to eat then pops to the bottom of the stairs, dejected. “MOM!!”, she shouts up the stairs. “MOM! Do we have any food? All I can find are ingredients!” I cook a lot, and usually with good old-fashioned ingredients. I usually combine them in interesting ways to prepare actual food. However, we all know that I use sugar alternatives. Another area where I’m prone to cutting shorts is … jam. Jelly. I always have a variety of different sugar-free preserves lying around. I use them to stir into my Yo-Cheese, as well as forming the base for a tantalizing ice cream, or a cream cheese schmear. It’s a quick way to get some fruity flavor, while skipping all the steps of processing the fruit, myself. It also is often lower in carbs than anything I can make at home. I trade my time for some of the additional preservatives, wonky thickeners and emulsifiers in these ingredients. I do. I admit it. Sometimes, I run out of time and cheat. Today, I’m cheating with Orange Marmalade (one of my absolute favorites!). This amazing recipe is quite easy, actually. The beef ribs are seasoned with salt and pepper. They are seared, then placed into a slow cooker. Then, the remainder of the ingredients are mixed together, poured over the ribs, then locked away to cook for several hours. That’s it! Serving Notes: The ribs in the photos are being served over some seasoned sesame oil stir-fried broccolini from CostCo.

The result is a most delicious science experiment. This sauerkraut has all the flavor and probiotic benefits of a traditional fermented kraut but with less salt. The cabbage has a great crunch and tang along with the added flavor from the caraway seeds. This is a traditional sauerkraut, perfect for adding to hotdogs and sandwiches, as a side with sausages or pierogies, or just straight from the jar. Here's what you need to know, followed by the recipe: Start with the Basics You don’t need any special tools to make sauerkraut—just cabbage, salt, a big jar, and your hands. But if you get serious about your "krautkraft," you might consider investing in some tools of the trade. Here are three handy tools, and their alternatives: Fermenting Crock. This will seal the kraut, while still letting gasses from the fermentation escape—and let you avoid having to "burp" it every day. However, any big jar will work. Wooden Vegetable Tamper. It can be handy, especially when making a big batch, to have something to press the cabbage with. But you can also use your hands or a wooden spoon. Glass or ceramic weights. It's important that the cabbage doesn't rise above the liquid while fermenting. But you can use anything heavy as long as it's food safe and not likely to corrode (glass and ceramic are best) This base recipe can easily be multiplied to make larger batches (an average crock can hold about 10 lbs of sliced cabbage). Be aware that the larger the batch the longer it will take to ferment. This recipe is written for a lower salt content than the average at-home sauerkraut, but you should feel free to experiment to find what suits your personal taste. In fact: you can make this recipe completely salt free! To do that, we recommend subbing in 1/2 teaspoon of celery seeds and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and, because the cabbage won't release as much liquid, topping off the jar with filtered water. Speaking of Taste There's no need to stick solely to cabbage. Try using other vegetables in your kraut, such as carrots, red cabbage, Brussels sprouts, beets, or garlic, as well as other herbs and spices, such as dill seeds, celery seeds, curry powder, or red pepper flakes. Just be sure to taste the mixture as you’re making it (to make sure your flavors are what you want) and then every three days after the fermentation begins. This will help you judge when the kraut has reached the point of being “done.” Again, it’s based on your personal taste, but it’s worth it to continue to taste the kraut at different times to know what you like the best. Temperature Matters The warmer the temperature (70 degrees and above), the quicker the kraut will ferment, but it can result in a softer, less textured product. The cooler the temp (anything above freezing), the more time it will take the kraut to ferment, but the result will be a crunchier texture. The sauerkraut will keep for an extremely long time in the refrigerator after fermenting (Some people keep kraut up to a year in the refrigerator.) No need to can or “process” the mixture—the high temperature needed for canning will kill all the good bacteria. And here’s the most important thing to remember—sauerkraut is best served in its cold state. If you warm it up or cook it, you’ll kill all the good bacteria and lose all the awesome probiotic potential.Yummly## Lettuce wraps: low-carb, keto, gluten-free and delicious. Lettuce wraps (or lettuce cups) have a lot going for them: Fresh, filling and easy to prepare, they’re a great party food and a perfect fit for many specialized diets. With some attention to the ingredients you put in, they are keto, low-carb, and gluten-free. For a weeknight meal, this dinner recipe is hard to beat. Leave out the hummus and they’re even paleo. ## A variation on Asian lettuce wraps These aren’t the P. F. Chang’s-style asian chicken lettuce wraps, with ground chicken, sesame oil, hoisin sauce and soy sauce (though, those are delicious). Instead, this recipe offers a creamy, crunchy variation on a BLT sandwich. This BLTA (bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado) in easy chicken lettuce-wrap form is perfect for an easy dinner or a summer party appetizer, since it is served at room temperature. The mayo-hummus spread adds creamy texture, as well as holding everything together. ## Let’s talk about butter lettuce Butter lettuce works perfectly for this because butter lettuce leaves are thick and luscious (one might even call them buttery), as well as being the perfect size for a hand-held treat. However, if butter lettuce (or bibb lettuce or Boston lettuce, which are nearly indistinguishable from butter lettuce) isn’t available, a romaine or iceberg lettuce leaf is a good substitute. For a nutrition boost, this could even be served on tender cabbage leaves from the inner layers of a head of cabbage. ## Variations on BLTA chicken lettuce wraps This is a very adaptable recipe - ground chicken, ground turkey or ground beef, any of which you can brown in olive oil in a large skillet on the stove over medium-high heat, works well to replace the diced chicken. For an easy variation on the filling, you can add diced bell peppers, red pepper flakes or chopped cucumbers. ## But wait, I want to eat P. F. Chang’s lettuce wraps! Fair enough - try this [highly yummed P. F. Chang’s-style copycat recipe](https://www.yummly.com/recipe/PF-Changs-Chicken-Lettuce-Wraps-596804) that incorporates hoisin sauce, soy sauce, water chestnuts, green onions, and rice wine vinegar into the chicken mixture for Chinese flavors. ## Baking bacon This recipe includes a couple adaptable cooking hacks: The first is baking bacon. Eliminate splatter and the need to stand over a hot stove by cooking strips of bacon in the oven on 375º F for 20 minutes. Set a timer and forget it until your bacon’s ready. Bake the bacon on a wire rack for extra-crispy strips ## Hummus/mayo spread The other kitchen hack found in this recipe is the hummus-mayo mix: It’s a great way to add lots of creamy texture to a lettuce wrap (or a lavash wrap, tortilla wrap, or sandwich!) in a healthy, lower-fat way. The extra fiber and protein in the hummus are just a bonus, this spread is delicious. ## How to serve lettuce wraps, and what to serve them with These wraps are great for a party - wash and dry the lettuce leaves as much as two days in advance and make the filling in bulk (it’s easy to double or triple the amounts). Before serving, lay the lettuce leaves out on your serving tray and assemble them in place. If you’re serving these as a main dish for dinner, you can put the filling and the creamy hummus out in small bowls on the table with a pile of lettuce leaves, and let people assemble their own. Anything that you’d serve with a BLT sandwich is a great side dish to serve with these: potato salad, coleslaw (which allows you to keep it low-carb), fruit salad, sweet potato fries or, yes, bread.Food.comAs versatile as it easy nutritious and simple! Great to eat on its own, as a pizza topping, or in a burrito when hot, and can be cooled for sandwiches, so this is really convenient to make for just 1 or 2 people and have leftover to use for sandwiches (cheaper than storebought faux-meat products.) For added convenience, you can marinate ahead of time if you want. This is open for adding any kinds of herbs and spices you like but you just can't go wrong with the simplicity of salt and pepper, plus I think the olive oil and soy sauce give a simply pleasant flavor. Can also use tamari or Braggs instead of soy sauce, the latter is just what I always have on hand. Some nutritional yeast would also add vitamins and a pleasant cheezy flavor. If nuked right, I can get about 8-9 nice thick "cutlets" :) Prep and cook times are estimated but relative to other cooked tofu recipes it is quick and easy.Food52Spring is taking its sweet time this year, and the lack of asparagus and peas is making me antsy. I picked up some dandelion greens because they were the closest I could get to seasonal cheer; their bitterness called out for some nice, rich walnuts and a bit of sweet citrus, hence this spread/pesto thing. Although the recipe happens to be vegan, I am not, so I've been using it in a sandwich with cucumber slices and Beecher's No Woman cheese on homemade bread. I highly recommend the combination; I suspect it would also be good as a traditional sort of pesto on pasta situation, or as a dip for crudite, or whatever else you use pesto for (which, in my case, may or may not include eating with a spoon). Just so you know, this can be made with an immersion blender (that's how I did it, since it's what I have) but it would be MUCH easier with something like a food processor.Food52This dish is the ultimate celebration of Parmigiano Reggiano and one that I wish I had simmering on the stove every winter weekend. It all starts with the broth, infused with the intense flavor of the cheese rinds that can, if you wish, stand on its own. But layer it with a hint of sweetness from roasted squash, a dusting of warm nutmeg, and a dash of cream and you have yourself a seasonal staple. To make this a meal, I’ve paired the soup with one of my favorite under-the-radar pastas: sfoglia lorda (or spoja lorda), meaning “dirty pasta.” I first came across these bite-sized ravioli through Pasta Grannies, and they’ve since become a go-to in my house, both because of their robust Parmigiano flavor and because they’re shockingly easy to make. Like the cheese they’re filled with, sfoglia lorda come from Emilia-Romagna and were born out of a desire to use leftover cappelletti filling. Instead of wasting what remained, a very thin layer of the mixture was sandwiched between pasta sheets and cut into small rectangles. Sfoglia lorda are traditionally served in meat stock, but I find they make a wonderful addition to any soup. A FEW NOTES: I always like to have some Parmigiano Reggiano broth on hand, so don’t hesitate to double the recipe. The broth can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for three to five days, or in the freezer for several months. Sfoglia lorda are typically filled with a soft cheese like campagnolo, stracchino, raviggiolo or casatella, which are difficult to find stateside. Here, I’ve substituted mild goat cheese, since it has the thick, spreadable texture that’s ideal for this pasta. If you’re not a goat cheese fan, switch it out for more (very firm) ricotta. To make sure the pasta doesn’t leak, it’s important to remove any excess moisture from the filling. If your ricotta is watery, drain it for 15 to 20 minutes in cheesecloth before using, or pat it dry between some paper towels. This is also why the egg is essential: even if the filling starts to peek through the cut ravioli, the egg will hold it together during the cooking process. If there’s one piece of special equipment worth using here, it’s a fluted pasta cutter. This tool is designed to seal and cut the pasta at the same time, which helps prevent the sfoglia lorda from leaking. If you don’t have one but you’re keen to give the recipe a try, dot little pockets of filling across one of the pasta sheets and leave small gaps of dough in between. Then, once you’ve layered the other pasta sheet on top, prick the pockets with a fork to let the air escape, cut along the dough gaps with a knife, and seal the pieces manually.Food.comMakes one loaf. Makes your house smell like a bakery. Coffee suggested to serve with. :) This is the recipe i used to make a spelt loaf today. The aroma of this bread cooking is so wonderful, especially on a winter evening. It's easy to add seeds or nuts as you like (I did) and what I love is that it's kneaded in the bread machine. Use as the bread for a Reuben sandwich. Or serve toasted stuffed with rondele and hot sauerkraut for an unbelievably tasty and filling lunch. Add some beef bacon if you don't mind mixing meat and dairy for a 5 star sandwich. I'll tweak it as I find better methods, but for now enjoy this as-is. I used other recipes and flour properties to gauge how to bake up a soft loaf and it turned out really really well in my opinion. The husband gives it 5 stars :DFood52There was a time in my life—we'll call it my early early twenties—when the only thing that could cure a bad day, or make a great day better, was a trip to the Zabar's mustard section. Like an artist gets lost in a painting, I'd get lost in the Dijons, the honeys, and the weirder flavors like fig and walnut. Over time, and with the help of a membership to the National Mustard Museum's Mustard of the Month Club, I accumulated more than 80 jars. I'd often spread four types onto one sandwich, and occasionally just eat it with a spoon. It was an obsession of the not-too-unhealthy type; Google "health benefits of mustard" and you'll get a day's worth of reading. Eventually, though, I started to pick favorites. Mustard Girl's Sweet and Spicy Honey, Amora's Dijon, Fox's Sweet and Spicy Balsamic Garlic, and SchoolHouse Kitchen's Sweet, Smooth, and Hot Mustard came out on top, and the rest faded into mustard oblivion of the loneliest sort. At least they had each other. Today my mustard collection exists in a pared-down manner: only my favorites, and those with sentimental value or cool jars. I live very far from Zabar's now, so adding to my collection often requires making it from scratch. Making mustard is quite easy, and fun because there are a million twists that you can put on it. By definition, mustard consists of mustard seed (I like yellow—brown and black seeds are stronger and more pungent) blended with a liquid (often vinegar). I like adding a pinch of salt, some kind of sweetener, and then cooking it down a bit to reduce the hotness. What follows is a very basic honey mustard recipe, but I encourage you to experiment with different vinegars or other liquids; adding spices (I like curry!); and subbing out the honey for other sweeteners like molasses, sugar, or maple syrup. The kitchen is your mustardy oyster! Just make sure you've got enough hot dogs on hand.
