World Cup Sub Sandwiches

This week we continued our World Cup theme with a handy, filling meal that can be conveniently eaten whilst watching the footie - Sub sandwiches. So whilst England are making their subs, why not make yours!

Our celebrity chef this week was Sam and, with Logan's help, he was making an egg and bacon sandwich filling based on the full English breakfast. Here he shows us how.

Egg and Bacon Sub Sandwich

2 eggs

2 rashers of bacon

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon ketchup

Black pepper

2 large hot dog rolls

1. Place the eggs whole in a pan of water and boil for 5 minutes until hard.

2. Carefully remove the eggs from the pan and run under a cold tap until cool.

3. Fry or grill the bacon until cooked then set aside to cool.

4. Tap the eggs to break the shells then remove all the shell from the eggs.

5. Chop the eggs into very small pieces with a knife.

6. Snip the bacon into small pieces with a pair of scissors.

7. Put the bacon and egg into a bowl and spoon in the mayonnaise and ketchup. Grind in a little black pepper.

8. Mix well.

9. Carefully cut the bread rolls open lengthwise and spoon in the filling.

In the meantime, Corey and Alina were making Coronation Chicken sub sandwiches, a sandwich filling first invented in 1953 for a banquet to celebrate the Queen's coronation.

1. Cut the cooked chicken into small chunks.

2. Use a grater to carefully grate the zest off the lime.

3. Cut the lime in half and squeeze out the juice.

4. Put the mayonnaise, mango chutney, lime zest, lime juice, curry powder and salt into a bowl.

At the same time, Morgan and Madison were making Tuna Crunch Sub sandwiches.

Tuna Crunch Sub Sandwich

2 x 185g cans tuna in brine

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

8 lettuce leaves

1 small cucumber

2 tomatoes

2 large hot dog rolls

1. Drain the tuna, place in a mixing bowl and mash with a fork.

2. Add the mayonnaise to the tuna and stir until mixed.

3. Wash the lettuce and cut into thin strips.

4. Wash the cucumber and cut into slices.

5. Wash the tomato and cut into slices

6. Cut each bread roll in half lengthwise then arrange the salad along the base of the rolls. Then spoon the tuna on top.

Once everyone had finished making their sandwiches, each roll was cut into three pieces and shared out so that everyone could taste each of the three sandwich fillings.

It was pleasing that everyone was willing to try something new and a few of the children surprised themselves by liking the fillings. Well, you never know unless you try!
