Corned tongue grilled cheese

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

“This sexy sarmie was my introduction to corned tongue. It’s a surprisingly good cold cut to add to your next sandwich with good cheese and some pickles.”

Ingredients

For the tongue:
1 kg Woolworths corned beef tongue
1 large onion, sliced into wedges
1 stick celery, roughly chopped
1 carrot, sliced
1 clove garlic, crushed
bay leaves, a few
1 T black peppercorns
For the sandwich:
4 slices Woolworths Berliner landbrot
4 T Woolworths burger mayonnaise
100 g Cheddar, grated
100 g mozzarella, grated
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
100 g butter
2 pickled onions
2-4 gherkins

Cooking Instructions

1. Place the ingredients for the tongue in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 2½ hours. Remove from the pan and allow to cool. Peel and slice thinly. Set aside until ready to use.

2. To make the sandwiches, spread the mayonnaise onto the bread and top with the cheese, onion and tongue.

3. Heat the butter in a pan. Toast the sandwiches on both sides until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Serve with the pickles.
