SMOKED SALMON ASPARAGUS PINWHEELS (PARTY SANDWICHES)



Smoked Salmon Asparagus Pinwheels (Party Sandwiches) image

These pinwheels are absolutely delicious... don't wait for a party to make them, whip them up for a weekend brunch or evening snack! You can make these up to 1 day ahead and refrigerate. You should get around 48-50 pinwheels/sandwiches if you slice each bread roll into 8 pieces, but it will depend on how large you slice them, so servings is only estimated. Don't purchase the completely square slices of bread, purchase the sandwich loaf that is higher on the top. Plan ahead these need to chill for a minimum of 2 hours before slicing. You can also make these with fresh steamed asparagus, but I prefer the canned better.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS SANDWICHES



GRILLED ASPARAGUS SANDWICHES image

Categories     Vegetable     Vegetarian     Grill/Barbecue

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (to taste)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
salt and freshly ground pepper
16 thick asparagus
1 fresh red pepper, thickly sliced
1 medium red onion or sweet white onion, thickly sliced
1/4 C chopped fresh basil
1 - 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 thick slices sour dough bread

Steps:

  • 1. Light and preheat grill. 2. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the mustard, crushed red pepper, lemon juice, garlic and cayenne pepper. Taste and season with salt and pepper. 3. Brush the asparagus, red pepper and onion with olive oil. Grill over a moderately hot fire until the asparagus is crisp - tender and the onion and red pepper are tender. About 3 - 5 minutes per side for each. Transfer the vegetables to a platter. Toast the bread slices on the grill. 4. Spread the seasoned mayonnaise on slices of the toasted bread, sprinkle with basil. Top with the asparagus, onion and grilled red pepper. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread, slice in half and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh asparagus that is tender and has tightly closed tips.
  • To easily remove the tough ends of the asparagus, simply snap off the bottom inch or two of each spear.
  • If you don't have a steamer, you can also blanch the asparagus in a large pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until tender.
  • You can use any type of bread you like for these sandwiches, but a sturdy bread like sourdough or whole wheat will hold up best.
  • For a vegetarian version of these sandwiches, omit the ham and add an extra egg or some sliced avocado.

Conclusion:

Asparagus sandwiches are a delicious and easy lunch or dinner option that can be made with a variety of ingredients. They are perfect for using up leftover asparagus, and they are also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these asparagus sandwiches a try!
