Another Summer Treat

Recommended Posts

Every summer I look forward to making cucumber sandwiches. Today was the day, first I needed to make some sandwich bread, then pick the cucumber fresh from the garden.

Fresh from the vine. :)

It is a simple sandwich, mayo, salt, pepper and cucumber slices.

That bread looks amazing! I'm a tomato sandwich junkie this time of year. I have a couple of large tomatoes that are just about ready to pick. Plus, I promised a friend coming to visit this week that I'd make him some fried green tomatoes, as he's never had one before.

Tee hee, I have to say that I agree with @Tyrus.  Where IS the beef @MacKenzie?  

Tyrus, thanks for asking after me.  I have spent the summer doing a little consultancy work but am now about to start more full time work again.  First day back in an office turns out to be in the week leading up to a party where we will be feeding 100+ people.  Lots of planning and procuring to do.  Am finding time to grill and eat but no time left to post!!!

Remember those spices I received yesterday? You just know I'm dying to put them on anything so why not turmeric on my cucumber sandwich and some of the Zanzibar pepper. ;)

Just look at that colour.

In a million years I would not have guessed that it had turmeric on it. This was the best cucumber sandwich I've had this year. It was to die for. :)

That Urfa pepper caught my eye, MacKenzie. I used some of it in my recipe for the Suya Pepper rub. Think smoky paprika. If you've not used Sumac before, it's a nice spice - lemony. Great on plain white rice with a nob of butter. I bet you'd like it on your cucumber sandwich, too! It's a key ingredient in a spice blend called Za'atar (thyme and sesame seeds.)

Can't wait to see what you come up with using this spices?
