I seldom eat white bread, but it happens, and when it does it is usually bloody fantastic.
Like this time.
I made a beef stew; lots of red wine, cherry tomatoes, garlic and fresh herbs, let it simmer on the stove for about 3 hours until the meat was super tender and the flavours really deep and sweet.
I sliced half a baguette in the middle and toasted it lightly in the oven.
Put a generous amount of the rich beef stew on one half.
Covered it with cheese and put it back in the oven until the cheese had melted.
Topped the creation with basil and thyme and added the top of the baguette.
It was the perfect sandwich.
Whenever I do eat white bread, I make sure it is bloody well worth it.
