Ploughman’s Lunch Rolls – Another idea for a cricket tea, for a picnic, or a packed lunch
Cheese, Ham, Salad and Pickle Sandwiches
Another idea for a cricket tea, for a picnic, or a packed lunch, Ploughman’s Lunch Rolls.
I make these fairly regularly for lunch or when we’re going on long car journeys, as well as for light lunches.
Although I’ve used wholemeal bread rolls in these photos, this lovely sandwich filling works just as well in crusty white bread rolls.
This recipe is also fabulous when made in a baguette – 1 standard baguette will yield 4 portions.
These sandwiches have all the elements of a ploughman’s lunch, but in a roll, which all my family really enjoys.
I used a popular supermarket sweet pickle last time I made these, but homemade pickle or chutney works, and of course, my husband’s favourite, Branston Pickle is a winner.
I always use an extra mature or vintage cheddar cheese in these rolls, as you need a cheese with a bit of attitude, and which isn’t overwhelmed by the other ingredients.
Use a good salted butter too, for that extra layer of flavour, and a little sea salt on the tomato.
We are a family of smoked ham lovers, however, do add your favourite ham – home-cooked ham is sublime in these sandwiches.
Iceberg lettuce has a bad rap, and I must admit it’s not my favourite lettuce in a salad; but it’s perfect in this loaded bread roll, as its retains its crispness and adds a bit of a crunch.
I hope you feel inspired enough to give these a go sometime, they really are a most delicious way of eating a ploughman’s lunch in a butty! Karen
