FRANCESINHA (SUPER INDULGENT PORTUGUESE SANDWICH)

This looks very yummy but certainly not one for the diet! Apparently, it is the Portuguese take on the French croque-monsieur.

Steps:

  • Make the sauce first by dissolving the cornstarch into the milk.
  • Add all the other sauce ingredients and blend in food processor.
  • Put it into a pan over low heat and add the bay leaf .
  • Stir it until it starts to boil, remove bay leaf and then set aside.
  • Assemble the sandwich saving 2 slices of cheese.
  • Put the sandwich on a plate or shallow bowl and place the 2 slices of cheese on top.
  • Pour the sauce over the sandwich (should be hot, so the cheese melts).
  • Eat -- you may want a bib.

2 slices white bread
2 slices smoked ham
4 slices cheese, something melty like a dutch cheese
1 cooked sausage, sliced, something along the lines of chorizo
1 slice roast beef
1 beer
1 chicken stock cube
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons concentrated tomato paste
1/4 cup brandy or 1/4 cup port wine
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 bay leaf
chili flakes, to taste
salt, to taste

FRANCESINHA

Like a Portuguese version of a Croque Monsieur, only with far more meat and a tomatoey, beery sauce which you can spice up with some chilli, if preferred. Belly busting and described as a 'heart attack on a plate', this is a food that is local to Porto and made in a few different ways. I had it at the St Johns Festival and it was amazing and is a local speciality in Porto.

Steps:

  • Sandwich filling: Cut the sausages lengthwise and season with salt and pepper. Season the steaks as well. Grill the sausages first and then the steaks so they stay medium rare.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: Chop the onions and the garlic and let them sizzle on the pan with some butter, olive oil, the bay leaves, and bacon. Add the tomato passata and the chillies and bring to a fast simmer. Add the booze if you're using any and the stock, and simmer for 10-20 minutes. Mix the milk and flour with a fork and add it to the sauce to thicken it. Remove the bay leaves and blend with a stick blender until the sauce is smooth.
  • Start shaping the francesinha: first a slice of bread, then one slice of cheese, one of ham/salami, the steak, the sausages; layering between the two sandwiches until the meat is used up between them and you have a sandwich. Cover all of the sandwiches with the remaining sliced cheese and bung in the oven or grill until it melts.
  • Once the cheese is melted, fry the eggs and top the sandwiches with them and pour the hot sauce over and around. Serve with fries.
