Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Pestle & Mortar

Ingredients

Black Garlic Mayo

  • 4 Black Garlic Cloves
  • 200 g Mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 2 tsp Lemon Juice

The Sandwich

  • 8 Slices White Bread (See Notes)
  • 400 g Leftover Roast Chicken (Shredded)
  • 8 Slices Honey Roast Ham
  • 100 g Salted Crisps (See Notes)
  • Butter (For Spreading)

Instructions

Black Garlic Mayo

  • Add the black garlic into a pestle & mortar then crush into a smooth paste.
    If you haven't got a pestle & mortar, crush the garlic on a chopping board, with the side of a chef's knife.
  • Add the garlic paste into a mixing bowl along with the mayonnaise, mustard & lemon juice. Season the mayo with salt & pepper then mix to combine.

The Sandwich

  • Place the shredded chicken & black garlic mayo into a mixing bowl then mix together.
  • Next, generously butter one side of each slice of bread.
  • Take four slices of bread, top each with 2 slices of ham then spoon over the chicken. Top each sandwich with a good handful of crisps, followed by the remaining slices of bread.
  • Slice each sandwich in half then serve!

Notes

1. Roast Chicken - These sandwiches are a great way to use up leftover roast chicken. For 4 salads, you’ll need 400 grams of chicken, which roughly equates to half a medium chicken.
2. Black Garlic - Black garlic is available to buy in some supermarkets or online. Alternatively, regular garlic can be used for the mayo. You won't need to use as much though - I'd start with 3 garlic cloves.
3. Bread - I used my potato sandwich bread for this sandwich but any good white, sandwich bread will work!
4. Crisps - I used salted Kettle Chips for my sandwiches but pretty much any salted crisps will work as well. Roast chicken flavoured crisps will also work!
