“A Winter’s Sandwich”. Granted, in San Diego, winter is when the temperature drops to 50 degrees, and a storm is when we get 2 inches of rain and traffic slows down to 63 mph. We have it easy. This is a sandwich we made mostly from leftovers, some ham, some prosciutto, and half an avocado. We have pretty good leftovers I guess. It was an excellent afternoon in the low winter sun, with a warm sandwich and a glass of red wine in the swing. Life’s good.

Sandwich Recipe

• 1 slice of bread
  (Shown here with a garlic-rosemary bread)
• 1 1/2 oz of goat cheese.
• 1 slice of black pepper ham
• 3 slices of prosciutto
• 3 roasted garlic
• 1/2 avocado
• 1 tbs roasted fire salsa
• 5 dried blueberries
• 1/2 tsp lemon juice

Spread the goat cheese on the bread, and cover with the black pepper ham.  Spread out the roasted garlic, and lay the prosciutto on top. Heat the sandwich in a toaster oven until the prosciutto starts curling up a little and the cheese looks like it is seriously considering melting, but it’s just not sure it’s the right time yet, and why is everyone staring at me anyway. Spread the salsa on top, and enjoy while warm.

Salsa Recipe

Mix the avocado, salsa and lemon juice, and blend in the blueberries. The blueberries provide a bit of sweetness that goes well with the saltiness of the ham and prosciutto.
