Hi guys! Hope you're well! So I'm going to show you how to make the most delicious sandwich
This is inspired by the American 'Sloppy Joe'
It's basically the ultimate sandwich with gravy to dunk!
It's filthy, it's messy and it's the best!
So whether it's Christmas time, Thanksgiving or any time of year,
this is a great thing to do with leftover meats
So I have some turkey here
What we can do is just pick this wing meat and even the skin,
into a pan. The pan is on a kind of medium low heat. Exactly the same with the thigh meat
Just tear it up. All of it goes in. It's gonna be delicious!
Just slice up the breast meat. I'll add that a little bit later, because I don't
want to overcook the breast meat okay. Push that to one side
Happy days! So give that a nice little toss up. I want to get that crispy for
five minutes. We've got the gravy here just ticking away. Now to make this
Sloppy Joe amazing, I want to get some tang in there and some crunch so there's
So there's two things I'm gonna do that are very very straightforward, that's gonna make
this sandwich epic!
First up is a barbecue sauce. There's nothing glamorous
about this guys, it's basically a load of things you've probably got kind of
blended together; equal quantities of brown sauce and ketchup in a bowl
I'm gonna have a few good shakes of Worcestershire sauce, a good shake of
Tabasco, English mustard. Make it fiery. Just mix this up
This sandwich is supposed to be a bit naughty! Of course if you've got barbecue sauce
in the fridge, feel free to use that. This is nice and hot now, so I'm just gonna
add a little bit of my gravy - just a little bit! And I'll turn it right down
and I'll add my turkey breast in there. Lid on top and just heat it through.
Now, the pickle, for me, is everything! This is the thing that makes it really really epic!
I have a little jar of pickles. Get a knife and just finely slice it.
I've got a crinkle cutter by the way. It just looks cool but also it gives you a
bigger surface area. On my right here, is the leftover pickle right. And often this
gets thrown away. What we can actually do is kind of just reuse that, so if you
take a carrot and peel the carrot, once you've got rid of that outer skin and
just don't stop peeling. To create the most beautiful thin slivers, just get
your knife and slice it as finely as you can, into the most beautiful little matchsticks
Got the pickle, you got the carrot
My little chilli, finely sliced that and then let's get a nice apple
So with the apple, so just take a little sliver off the end and then you have a flat edge
and it doesn't move around. And then, nice thin slices through the apple, through
the core and then we'll slice the other way. A little red onion; finely slice that
And then if you want to take a herb; chilli and apple absolutely love mint!
Right really, really nice! I'm just gonna rip the top off
these stalks, you can keep for flavouring soups and stews. The leaves; just finely slice them
And then we'll just mix this up and I'm gonna put it back in this jar okay
So just stuff it back. Now the acid from the vinegar, and the seasoning, will
flavour all of this beautifully. It will stop the apple from going brown
Get the lid on tight, turn it upside down, in the fridge and it's good probably for a week,
week and a half at least.
So gravy's ready, the meat is good. Let's get this party going!
I don't want to rack up like 10, 15 sandwiches no! no! no! no! no! no!
Just put it out. Turn your little kitchen into a little sandwich bar.
And then here we go; Welcome to Jamie's! Get me buns, only got four customers today but you
never know we might get busier! Just cut that in half so right let's load this little bad boy up
Some of that barbecue ; sauce nice! Don't worry about being messy!
I think this whole dish is about celebrating messy! Look at that! Come on! Let's get into
that pickle. Beautiful! Get that sandwich on top. Now we need a swimming pool
that it's full of beautiful gravy. A load of hot steaming gravy
Look at that! Come on!
And then you get your sandwich. I mean look at this, come on look look at that
And then you go for the kill. You go for a dunk and then you have to look at it
because if you put it straight in your mouth you're gonna burn yourself so badly
but when the pickle starts to wink at you, it's time.
Hallelujah! There's no polite way to eat this sandwich guys.
There is going to be gravy all over your shirt, all over your chin, if there's anyone sitting next to
you they'll be gravy all up them as well. But if there's one thing for sure is you'll be happy
And everyone eating this will be happy with that crunch, with that
heat, with that tang and with that undeniable gravy. Come on guys!
Enjoy!
Make it and get stuck in!
