My twist on a classic Edwardian sandwich called a “Shooter’s Sandwich”, this is a sandwich of impeccable credentials and that is rather large in size too.

125g mushrooms, cleaned, diced and fried in a little butter
½ red onion, peeled and sliced

Directions

Step 1	Cut the loaf of bread in half as seen in the photos.
Step 2	Spread both halves of the bread with the butter and then layer up the ingredients on one half of the bread loaf in the order listed – see the photos.
Step 3	Place the lid on top of the filling and then wrap in grease-proof paper and tie with some string.
Step 4	Place some heavy books or weights on top and leave for at least 12 to 24 hours, in a cool place.
Step 5	Serve in slices. Can be sliced before taking it out into the field or on a picnic for ease.
