I was initially apprehensive about using flowers in my sandwich, but it fit the themed week. So why not!?
Apart from trees, I also like growing as much veg as I can. I have a cornichon de Paris plant (mini cucumbers or gherkins). I grow these as they are amazing pickled. It works hand in hand with the hamburgers I make.
I figure I will start harvesting this plant and start pickling as of next week.
This plant is in full bloom and there are loads to collect for my sandwich.
Big shout out goes to @jaybird for organizing this contest.
I used the following to make this sandwich:
Bread:
Wheat flour
Water
Yeast
Salt
Filler:
Pepperoni
Mantecoso cheese
Baby cucumber flowers
Sriracha
I have one bread spare and I baked three trays today.
Cut in half and it is still steeming.
Chuck in some cheese.
Load up on the pepperoni.
Lay down your prepped flowers. I removed everything but the petals.
How could I not put this in my sandwich, flowers or not!
I did actually demolish this post surf sandwich. Ok, believe or not, the flowers where very tasty. Once you got used to the texture, it taste like cucumber and with a hint of spring. The sriracha hot sauce did not actually over power the flower taste.
Hey everyone. I hope you liked this sandwich. I would like share a video I made:
