For a great sandwich, you need plenty of crunch and a good allotment of flavor and texture contrasts. Here, the tender, tasty lamb meat contrasts with the toasted bread and the crunchy, moist celery root salad. It’s important to place a lettuce leaf on either side of the lamb and celery root salad to keep the bread from getting soggy. Serve these sandwiches with some crispy gherkins and a glass of good ale.
INGREDIENTS
- 8 slices crusty bread, ½-inch thick each
- 1 large clove garlic, halved
- Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 large or 2 small celery root(s), peeled and julienned (about 1 pound)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon minced shallots (1 medium shallot)
- 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice (½ small lemon)
- 8 leaves Romaine or other crisp lettuce
- 1 ½-2 pounds leftover cooked lamb, at room temperature, trimmed of fat and sliced thin
DIRECTIONS
Rub the bread slices lightly with the garlic and season moderately with salt and pepper, then toast them to your liking. (The best way to do this is on an outdoor charcoal grill; otherwise, do it in the oven at 350 degrees or on a griddle pan.)
Place the mayonnaise, celery root, tarragon, chives, and shallots in a bowl. Add the lemon juice, toss well to combine, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Make sandwiches layered as follows: 1 slice of bread, 1 leaf of lettuce, a portion of lamb, a portion of celery root salad, another leaf of lettuce, and a second slice of bread. Any excess salad can be served on the side or refrigerated for up to 2 days.
Recipe Details
Notes: You can use various types of leftover lamb — leg, rack, shank — for this recipe. If you use the crusted rack, leave the crust on when you sliced it. Or simply double a lamb recipe and use the leftovers to make this sandwich the next day.
