I made a giant couscous salad, and some pastrami last night in preparation for 40C+ heat this week. There's no way I'm turning on the oven or stove, and I'm not standing outside to BBQ in what feels like a hair dryer on the hot setting.

This will be for things like open-faced sandwiches and wraps. Shaving off the fat in the centre, though. I'm not sure how they managed that, unless the purpose was to "hide" it.

Delicious, regardless. Thanks again, to Nagi Maehashi of RecipeTinEats.

I am jealous of the food and the weather right now...!

[–] StickyDango@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Honestly would prefer that right now.. Two more months of winter, you can do it! 👊

Absolutely beautiful work!

Thank you! Maybe I'll post a pic of a pastrami sandwich tomorrow... 😁

The sandwich. Pastrami, lettuce, red onion, Mayo, mustard on fresh sourdough bread. Toasted. 😁👌

[–] Sendpicsofsandwiches@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Absolutely legendary! Very nice, 10/10

[–] StickyDango@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thank you! I've just joined your sandwich community. 😁 Are wraps acceptable?

[–] Sendpicsofsandwiches@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Absolutely! I love wrap sandwiches and I think they fit the community just fine

[–] StickyDango@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Excellent. I'll you there. 😁

Australia? 40°C + is too hot. Past 28°C is too hot.

Looks tasty though!

[–] StickyDango@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thank you! Yes, Australia. I didn't go out to get a fresh loaf of bread to make a sandwich. It's supposed to cool significantly tomorrow, so I'll go out then.

This is 15 minutes ago...
