VICTORIAN WATERCRESS TEA SANDWICHES FOR HIGH TEA AND PICNICS

Victorian Watercress Tea Sandwiches for High Tea and Picnics image

During Victorian times, children used to take watercress sandwiches to school in place of meat ones. I love them, especially when cut into small trianges and served with a cuppa (cup of tea!). Use the freshest bread - I like to use wholemeal, and a fresh salted farmhouse butter. I have included a soup idea at the end of the recipe, to be made with the excess stalks! So a soup and sandwich recipe then!

Time 5m

Yield 8 Rounds of Sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 bunches watercress
softened butter
16 thin slices bread
sea salt and black pepper

Steps:

Snip the stalks from the watercress and place the leafy ends on kitchen paper to absorb any water. Butter the bread generously, arrange the watercress over 4 slices and season. Top with the remaining bread, cut into triangles or fingers and serve.
NB. (Don't discard the watercress stalks; they can be made into a soup. Soften a chopped onion in a pan with butter, add 250ml whole milk and bring to the boil. Add the stalks, cook for 1 minute then liquidise until smooth and foamy.).

EGG AND WATERCRESS TEA SANDWICHES

Egg and Watercress Tea Sandwiches image

Just like the dainty sandwiches served at Harrods! For a less traditional tea sandwich, you can use pumpernickel, rye or sourdough bread, thinly sliced. For a visual treat, garnish the patter of sandwiches with edible flowers such as pansies or nasturtiums, along with the watercress.

Lightly spread the outside edge of each sandwich with mayonnaise and dip into the chopped parsley.

DAINTY EGG AND CHIVE TEA SANDWICHES FOR TEA-TIME

Dainty Egg and Chive Tea Sandwiches for Tea-Time image

I am compiling a sandwiches cookbook, or sarnies as we call them in the UK, and here is my first recipe! Sandwiches come in many guises, from simple and elegant to hearty and robust; in my cookbook I aim to have them ALL in there! Sandwiches tick all the boxes for so many meals and events: the obvious high teatime table, cricket teas, picnics, packed lunches and quick snacks. These sandwiches are dainty and elegant and would be ideal for the teatime table. The use of fresh chives gives them a bit of a lift and you must try to use the salad cream as well as the mayonnaise; salad cream has a pronounced vinegary flavour which cuts through the richness of the mayonnaise and eggs.

Categories Lunch/Snacks

Time 11m

Yield 4 Rounds Sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 medium free range eggs
1 tablespoon salad cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
8 slices thin sliced brown bread
butter, softened, for spreading
salt and pepper

Steps:

Place the eggs in a small pan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and cook for 6 minutes. Drain and run the eggs under cold water until cool.
Peel and then coarsely grate or crumble the eggs into a bowl. Mix with the salad cream, mayonnaise and chives and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cut off the bread crusts with a serrated knife - put them to one side for home-made breadcrumbs.
Butter the bread and divide the egg mixture between 4 bread slices. Top with the remaining bread. Stack 2 sandwiches together and cut into 3 fingers, then serve.
Cook's tips: Pierce the rounded end of each egg with a pin before cooking to help stop the shell from cracking.
Cooling the eggs under cold water stops them from cooking further and prevents a dark ring forming around the yolk.
For easy peeling, peel the eggs under cold running water over a colander to collect all the bits of shell. The water stops the shell from sticking to your fingers and the egg.
