{Take the 100 Things challenge!}
Okay, this one is weird.
The first time I saw this recipe on a web site, I thought "this one is weird." But I'm the sort of person who when they see an odd recipe, thinks that I need to try that. So I tried it... and it's good!
So here you go:
The Adult Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich
1) Peanut Butter -- better to use the kind that has no extra added oil and is just peanuts (maybe with some salt)
2) A nice marmalade
Evenly proportion these two ingredients. Spread the marmalade on one piece of bread and the peanut butter on the other. (I know, really standard to this point). Now it's about to swerve toward Thailand.
3) Spread Sriracha on the peanut butter (remember that Sriracha is hot and don't go overboard)
4) Add chopped fresh basil (I have Thai basil as well as sweet basil in my garden, so I use both)
5) Sprinkle sweet curry powder on the marmalade (again, don't go insane with it. But a good sprinkle is in order)
6) Press together, butter your bread, toast your sandwich in a skillet until everything is warm and melty and the bread has some golden brown on it. (you need to meld the flavors)
It's a savory, spicy PB&J!
Weird, but weird and good. (And perfect when you're scrounging around your refrigerator, trying to put something together out of random ingredients that you have on hand.)
