Hollywood Good

A lot of people ask me what i like to eat with my braai or BBQ well that's simple a toasted Sammie but not any old toasted Sammie its a special one. It just seems that hot coals give this toasted baby a whole new pizazz

At the end of doing all your meat there is always just enough heat left in the coals for these crunchy yummy little gems

Ingredients:

•6 slices bread (white or brown)
•Approximately 3 tablespoons softened butter to spread over the bread
•1 onion, raw and finely sliced or
2 to 3 onions, fried until caramelized (see notes below)
•2 tomatoes, sliced
•Sliced or grated cheese
•Salt and ground black pepper to season

Optional flavours to taste to make the sandwich even tastier:

•Chutney and / or mayonnaise
•Fresh herbs such as basil, parsley chives or chopped coriander

Method

1.Spread butter on both sides of the bread slices (butter on the outside of the sandwiches will ensure a crisp, golden crust).

Onion is a must for these sandwiches. While red onion is a bit sweeter than white onion while raw, we prefer to caramelized the sliced onion in a small frying pan: use a little olive oil or butter, and cook it for half an hour over a low heat until it is soft and sweet.

These sandwiches are best roasted after you’ve finished braaing the meat and wors, when the coals from your charcoal fire have cooled down somewhat.

Use a hinged barbeque grid, if you have one, or tie thin string around each sandwich to prevent if from falling apart when you turn it over.
