Renowned chef Jean-Christophe Novelli creates celebration sandwich for caterers

Written by: Admin
Jean-Christophe Novelli has created a celebration sandwich recipe for caterers to mark the 250th anniversary of Britain’s No 1 favourite food.


The recipe, which has been developed for the British Sandwich Association (BSA) on behalf of Bel Foodservice combines melted Leerdammer, smoked bacon, artichokes and sundried tomatoes to create a twist on the classic club sandwich. 

The recipe will feature on the BSA’s website dedicated to celebrating the anniversary of one of Britain’s best-loved lunches www.lovesarnies.com as the July ‘Sandwich of the Month’ and is available for operators to download as point-of-sale material to display in their own businesses. 

Jean-Christophe said:  “I’ve always loved the sandwich; it’s such a simple dish but the possibilities are endless.  A really great sandwich can range from a basic ham and cheese baguette, which was one of my favourites as a child, right through to speciality breads combined with gourmet ingredients.  The recipe I’ve created for the British Sandwich Association is based on my own personal favourite; the Leerdammer adds a slightly sweet, nutty taste that really complements the sun-dried tomatoes."
