Candied Lemon And Walnut Bread With Chicken & Tomatoes
A sandwich made with love can be a great meal.
Perfectly ripe black krim tomatoes make every sandwich better? So, yes, those definitely added to the savory richness of this sandwich. Buttery bread with candied lemon peel and hefty dose of walnuts added another layer of flavor. The sweet-tart acidic bite of candied lemon brought a bright and perky lightness that balanced the richness. When all the players bring their game to the party, it’s a recipe for success. That’s definitely the case here. I will definitely be attempting a home-made version of this bread some time soon.
Another version of this sandwich included slices of Whole Food’s smoked turkey breast and a nutty Austrian cheese (A version of Swiss style cheese found at the Dekalb Farmer’s Market) that’s a new favorite of mine. Smoked turkey and tomatoes are a marriage made in heaven.
Don’t forget those tomatoes!
