Directions
INGREDIENTS
- 4 slices Dunnes Stores Organic Sourdough bread
- 150g leftover turkey
- 150g leftover ham
- 100g Dunnes Stores Cooleeney cheese
- 2 tbsp homemade chilli jam
- 4 tbsp butter
For The Chilli Jam (makes 1 litre)
- 3 medium red chillies, deseeded and roughly chopped
- 1kg tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 thumb-sized pieces of ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp Thai fish sauce
- 450g demerara sugar
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 100ml red wine vinegar
METHOD
- For the chilli jam, start by placing half the tomatoes into a food processor and blitz until finely chopped. Transfer to a medium pot. Place the rest of the tomatoes, red chillies, garlic, ginger and Thai fish sauce into the food processor and blitz until it becomes a smooth paste.
- Transfer to the pot and place over a medium heat. Stir through the sugar, balsamic vinegar and red wine vinegar. Bring to the boil stirring regularly, then reduce the heat and keep at a steady simmer for 35 - 45 minutes or until the jam has reduced by half its volume. Stir every 5 minutes. When the jam has cooked, allow to cool and then transfer to sterilised jars.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Spread the unbuttered side of two slices with the chilli jam. Top with slices of Cooleeney cheese, followed by the shredded leftover turkey and ham.
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Place the sandwich in the pan, butter-side down, and cook.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the second sandwich.
- Slice in half and serve immediately.
