An ordinary student eats: grilled sandwich with frikandel speciaal (with recipe!)
The frikandel is on a championship tour across every culinary field—or does it just seem that way? From the plain old frikandel (nothing wrong with that), it evolves via the frikandel roll into frikandel pie, frikandel pizza, and even high frikandel and frikandel quiche. Leonie ter Veld from the blog What an ordinary student eats in the evening has given it another new twist: a grilled sandwich with frikandel speciaal. Brilliant!
Leonie is no grilled-sandwich amateur; she wrote the book Toffe tosti’s, which also includes top creations such as the Oreo-banana grilled sandwich, the burn-your-mouth-four-cheeses grilled sandwich, and the truffle-mayo grilled sandwich with chicken sausage, fried lettuce, and Port Salut. The clever former student is also the inventor of the crosti, a grilled sandwich made with a croissant. She tested the frikandel speciaal grilled sandwich with our very own Snackspert, and if he likes it, then it’s simply good.
Ketchup or curry
‘What will it be: ketchup or curry?’ Leonie asks in the video. Curry, of course, because that’s how we roll. Revolutionary, because there’s no cheese on this grilled sandwich. ‘I think that’s a little disgusting,’ says Snackspert. Leonie and Snackspert’s final verdict: lunch spots, hipster or not, put this on the menu.
How to make a grilled sandwich with frikandel speciaal
- Defrost the frikandel by taking it out of the freezer in time, or heating it briefly in the microwave.
- Cut it in half through the middle and lengthwise. Top one slice of bread with the four pieces of frikandel.
- Divide the curry and mayonnaise over the frikandel.
- Finely chop the onion and distribute it over the slice of bread.
- Place another slice of bread on top and cook the grilled sandwich in a sandwich maker for 5 minutes.
