Strawberry Peanut Butter Sandwich. Add some bananas if you like.
A place in our former neighborhood (Castro/Lower Haight) in San Francisco made a nice strawberry peanut butter sandwich. Smooth or crunchy peanut butter and sliced ripe strawberries on toast are a lovely juxtaposition of tastes and textures. To get fancy, add some sliced bananas. But leave them out if you are packing for school lunches because the bananas will get funky by lunchtime. Recipe for 1 sandwich.
Ingredients:
2 slices bread, your choice but not too dense, lightly toasted
About 4 fresh strawberries, stemmed and sliced lengthwise
Good peanut butter (we use Trader Joe’s Creamy Salted)
1/2 ripe banana, sliced (optional)
Honey (optional)
Method: toast the bread to light brown. Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on each slice, all the way to the edges. Layer on sliced strawberries and add bananas if you like. An optional layer of honey will give extra sweetness (though if that’s your jam, just stick to strawberry jam). Slice in half and serve.
Do it Elvis style. No strawberries, more banana, keep the honey, add bacon.
Well of course bacon. It improves everything.
