Sandwich sundays

After I discovered the amazing blog over at 300 sandwiches, we started making weekly sandwiches on a sunday. It started with me following a 300 sandwiches recipe each week and has progressed to me attempting to make my own random and exciting combinations. Often with caramelised onions!

Caramelised onions are a great sandwich addition turning simple combinations into something delicious. Plus super easy to make if you've got the time to stir them every ten minutes or so-  Which makes them the perfect thing to make on a Sunday afternoon. 

Caramelised onions

Ingredients

1. 1tsp butter
2. 4x onions sliced
3. Water
4. Sea salt

Method
Melt butter in fry pan over low heat, add onions and a sprinkle of sea salt. Cook slowly over low heat stirring every ten minutes or so and adding a splash of water when cooking dry. Will take about an hour. 

Today's sandwich is inspired by a sandwich from Mr Wolfe (my favourite coffee shop in Brighton) which is emmental cheese, butternut squash, olive mayo on sourdough. But I decided to mix it up using the same roasted butternut squash and olive base but with some additions, substitutions and of course caramelised onions.
