Irma Rhodes Onion And Parsley Sandwiches Recipes

IRMA RHODE'S ONION AND PARSLEY SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Spread mayonnaise on the top of each slice of bread.
• Arrange 2 onion slices, edges barely touching, on each of 4 slices. Cover with the remaining slices of bread.
• Using a biscuit cutter about two inches in diameter, press down as neatly as possible, cutting directly over the onion slices. Set the round sandwiches aside. Smear the rim of each sandwich with mayonnaise.
• Put the parsley in a plate and roll the rim of each sandwich in the parsley to coat well.

NEW YORKER ONION SANDWICH

Steps:

• Cut rounds from brown bread (big enough around to hold your tomato and onion slices), or use party rye-sized pumpernickel bread with crusts trimmed (and smaller tomato and onion slices).
• Place onion slices on one slice of bread and season with salt and pepper.
• Sandwich bread together.
• Spread edges of bread with mayonnaise then roll the edges in minced parsley.
• Garnish with a slice of tomato and sprig of parsley if you like.
• (Actually, I like to just cram the tomato into the sandwich as well--).

HAM AND SWEET ONION SANDWICHES WITH PARSLEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Finely chop parsley in a food processor, then add butter and salt and blend to a paste.
• Cut 4 (1/8-inch-thick) slices crosswise from center of onion, reserving remainder for another use.
• Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons parsley butter on 1 side of each slice of bread. Arrange 1 onion slice on each of 2 bread slices and spread each with 1 1/2 teaspoons parsley butter, then top each with one fourth of ham. Repeat layering with remaining onion, parsley butter, and ham, then cover with remaining bread slices, buttered sides down.

Steps:
