Two-Handed Kitchen Sink Tomato Sandwich
This recipe is a tribute to a simple, nostalgic sandwich. It comes from a gentleman who grew up enjoying it. The key is using perfectly ripe, chilled tomatoes and a generous spread of mayonnaise on soft bread. The result is a wonderfully messy and flavourful experience, traditionally enjoyed standing at the kitchen sink to catch the delicious drips. It is a celebration of peak tomato season in a straightforward format.
