Nina's RSG Sandwiches

I was fortunate to have a chat with Johan Rademan on RSG on Tuesday, but I am sure you all know that already from following Twitter and Facebook!. Never in my wildest dreams did I anticipate such a response, wow, I was so overwhelmed! Thank you for the wonderful support! I have had so many emails and phone calls of people complaining about their horrible sandwiches that I just have to do this post and share some of my easy, but delicious sandwich ideas. For those who have seen all these sandwiches, please forgive, at least here they are all nicely grouped together.



On Tuesday I made the following sandwiches.

Snoek and Patat Sandwich with Citrussy Hollandaise and Fynbos Honey

I used Patat(Sweet Potato) Bread that I bought from our local bakery.

Buttered the bread, layer fresh butter lettuce, shredded smoked snoek on top.

Serve with halved grapes(white and Black) and some of the Citrussy Holandaise Sauce.

For the hollandaise, I just used this recipe and sweetened it with some fynbos honey.
