A good sandwich is a great opportunity to enjoy all your favorite ingredients all in one convenient package, and one of the quintessential sandwiches has to be the BLT, a simple and tasty sandwich favorite. The simple combination of savory bacon with some crisp and refreshing lettuce and tomato goes a long way. We’ve made a chopped Italian sandwich before, and beyond being a tasty sandwich, it was also fun to make! We decided to apply the same technique to this week’s Halal recipe and bring you our take on a Chopped BLT.
This is a quick and dirty, albeit very tasty, recipe. We used Midamar’s Halal beef bacon, it’s always a fantastic choice for a savory snack. And we cooked ours up to be decently crispy so it’s easier to chop up later, so while that cooks, you can start prepping the other veggies that give this sammie its freshness.
This is a pretty loosey-goosey recipe as you may have already guessed, so feel free to adjust the amount of veggies you use for this to suit your tastes. We obviously chopped up the classic tomato, but we also added some pizzazz to our sandwich with some sliced red onion and a healthy amount of pepperoncini for some added kick. If you want to stick with the classic bacon, lettuce, tomato combo then we support that for you!
This is a fun recipe because once you start choppin’, you ain’t stoppin’ until everything is mixed and you’re making your sandwich. So give yourself a big enough cutting board and work area because once you’ve got the lettuce chopped, pile everything together, drizzle it with mayo to your taste, and give everything another final chop and mix before you finally build the sandwich.
We made ours as one gigantic sandwich, so if you do the same, slice a large loaf of bread almost entirely in half and start filling it with the filling by the handful. That’s pretty much it, believe it or not. That’s all you need for one cartoonishly large Chopped BLT, ready to be sliced and served to a boatload of hungry friends and family!
Whether you make it as one huge sandwich, or many (more sensibly) sized sammies, this is a great recipe for serving, it’s a fun and refreshing meal that’s perfect for serving or as a quick and tasty lunch. That’s it for this week, we hope you enjoy, and we hope you check out some of our other Halal recipes and eagerly anticipate another when we bring it to you next week.
