I invented this recipe as a quick meal to have for lunch. You don't need a toasted sandwich maker for this, or a fancy panini press (it may get messy if you do, due to the sauces used). You do it in the grill and oh it is lovely.
You will need:
Cheese (cheddar, red leicester, double gloucester or similar)
2 slices bread, for toasting
1 slice ham (not parma)
Tomato puree
Basil
Chilli sauce (tabasco, cholula etc)
Barbecue sauce
1. Preheat the grill until hot. Toast one side of the slices of bread to desired darkness. While the bread is toasting, slice enough cheese for just more than 2 slices and pull the ham apart into large pieces.
2. Once the bread is toasted on one side, turn over and spread some tomato puree on each. Sprinkle on a little basil. Cover with the cheese. Put under the grill for half a minute.
3. Add the ham equally across the two slices and some hot sauce. Return to the grill for another half a minute.
4. Add the rest of the cheese, and add some barbecue sauce. Return to the grill to toast fully.
5. Once toasted, put both slices onto a plate and lay one slice face down on the other. Press down lightly and serve with a side salad. Or crisps, you fat bastard.
