SIMPLE TOMATO SANDWICH



Simple Tomato Sandwich image

I am only posting such a simple recipe because I actually somehow lived 29 years of life before my husband introduced me to the Tomato Sandwich. If you've only used tomatoes as an accessory in your sandwiches, and not as the Featured Ingredient, you are truly missing summer as it was meant to be tasted. Note: after many years, I have solidly converted to mayo for this sandwich, with fresh ground black pepper too. (Oct 2012)

Provided by Rachel Gurjar

Time 55m

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 (6-oz.) packages paneer
1 medium onion, finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
½ jalapeño, seeds removed, finely chopped
1 (1") piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped
1 tsp. cumin seeds
½ tsp. mustard seeds
2 tsp. ground coriander
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
½ tsp. ground turmeric
1 (15-oz.) can crushed tomatoes
2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt
12 bread slices
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1½ cups coarsely grated sharp cheddar or low-moisture mozzarella
½ cup chopped cilantro
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
Ketchup (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Cook paneer in a single layer, undisturbed, until golden brown underneath, about 2 minutes. Turn over and cook on other side until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; let cool slightly, then crumble into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
  • Add onion, garlic, jalapeño, ginger, cumin seeds, and mustard seeds to same pot and cook (still over medium), stirring often, until onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add coriander, cayenne, and turmeric and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, salt, and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and stir in reserved paneer. Cover pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, 15-20 minutes.
  • Spread a slice of bread with ½ cup sauce. Top with some of the red onion, cheddar, and cilantro (about a sixth of each); close up sandwich with another slice of bread. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 5 more sandwiches.
  • Melt 1 Tbsp. butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium. Cook 2 sandwiches, pressing down occasionally on them with a spatula to ensure good contact with the pan, until underside is golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Turn sandwiches over and cook until other side is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat process two more times with remaining butter and sandwiches.
  • Slice sandwiches in half and serve with ketchup.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes.
  • Toast the bread until it is golden brown and crispy.
  • Spread a generous amount of butter or mayonnaise on the bread.
  • Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper.
  • Add a layer of cheese to the sandwich, if desired.
  • Cook the sandwich in a hot skillet or griddle until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately.

Conclusion:

The toasted tomato sandwich is a simple but delicious sandwich that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a satisfying and flavorful sandwich that will leave you feeling full and satisfied.
