And so it was earlier this week that the influences of Browners' National British Sandwich fun, Fran39's watercress post and the #livelocal challenge came together to make me think of a lunch I hadn't had in probably 10 years (yes really) - chicken and watercress with mayo on really good bread.
So I plotted a treat, my husband is not a fan of watercress he pulls a face at the very word, the ideal opportunity was to have said sandwich on a day when I was working from home. Mmmmm. I made fresh bread rolls yesterday to have with burgers and I'd found some red watercress in the supermarket and at 11am I was roasting 2 chicken legs with a dousing of lemon and olive oil.
At the appointed lunch hour I moseyed to the kitchen, sliced open a couple of rolls, slathered them with my favourite mayo, piled in freshly roast chicken and topped with watercress, squidged on the top.
And tucked in. Heaven in a bun.

Mmm, this sounds good and those rolls look beautiful! I don't think I've ever had watercress!
Yummy yum yum! When I'm back from my hols I'm going to follow your lead with this divine bun.
They were really good I can recommend them.
Karen: Watercress is very English, its peppery and quite bitter, rocket/arugula would be a good substitute.
Fran: Go for it. The rolls were dough made in the bread machine then shaped and cooked in the oven, ended up like a slightly soft and tasty ciabatta. I'll be making them again.
Heaven in a bun indeed! Watercress is so good for you (tell the husband!). We have giant field mushrooms with sauteed onions in buns sometimes. They're so meaty and filling too...
