MAXWELL STREET POLISH SAUSAGE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the kielbasa and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Set in a baking dish and place in the oven to keep warm.
• To the same skillet, add the onion and stir to combine with the oil remaining in the pan. Season with salt and pepper and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Once the onion is golden and soft, set aside.
• To build the sandwich: Place a sausage on a bun, slather with good yellow mustard and top with an ample amount of caramelized onion and 2 or 3 pickled peppers. Wrap the sandwich in deli paper, parchment paper or foil. Let sit for 5 minutes to get all good and steamed up.

MAMA HOSSA POLISH SANDWICH

Steps:

• Soft-boil, or medium-soft boil your egg. Set aside.
• Assemble sandwich: bread, cheese, ham, tomato, cucumber, egg, red pepper, dill and top with a dash of salt and pepper.
• Open-faced is the polish way... but cover it up with another slice if its too hard to handle (takes practice to enjoy it open-faced).

SASSY TAILGATE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Cut all rolls in half. Place roll bottoms in 9x13-inch pan.
• Place equal amounts of ham on each roll bottom. Top with Gruyere.
• On each of the roll tops, spread a generous amount of the cream cheese spread. Return the tops to the bottoms making sandwiches.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the butter, Worcestershire sauce, onion and Parmesan cheese. Pour over your sandwiches and let sit for at least 20 minutes. (You can make these ahead of time and allow to sit in fridge overnight.)
• Place sandwiches, covered in foil, in a preheated 350 degrees F oven. Bake for 20 minutes or until warmed through. Enjoy!

POLISH SAUSAGE SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a no-stick skillet, add the cooking oil and the butter, allowing it to melt over medium heat.
• Saute the onions for about 5 minutes.
• Add the sausage and allow it to brown a bit, stirring/tossing every minute or so, for 4-5 minutes.
• Pour the beer into the mix and allow it to come to a boil.
• Lower the heat and allow to simmer for 15 minutes, uncovered.
• Serve on croissant rolls or bagels. Add condiments as you wish, such as hot mustard.

MOLE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Quarter pepper. Roast on stovetop burner. In the meantime, sautee onion in olive oil.
• Add mushrooms to onions. Roughly slice roasted peppers and add to onions. Add vegetable broth, all the spices, and sofrito.
• Stir well and let simmer 10 minutes. Blend mixture in 2-3 batches (ladle into blender). Return mixture to pot.
• Peel turnip. Finely dice half of it, and finely slice the other half. Add the diced turnip to the mole, and reserve the slices.
• Add smashed garlic cloves. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Slice your roll in half, lengthwise, but don't cut all the way through. Smear on avocado andd douse with a couple of lime juice squirts.
• Layer on sliced turnip.
• Layer on the cheese.
• Pour on a few ladles of the mole. Center it in the middle. It will slowly melt the cheese underneath. Add a few dashes of dried cilantro on top.
• Eat like this: pinch ends with hands and eat into it lengthwise! MMMmmmmm!

POLISH SAUSAGE SUBMARINE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Slice the sausage into 1/4" rounds, on the diagonal (so as to get more surface space).
• Evenly lay out the sausage slices over bottom half of sub rolls.
• Top with desired amount of sauerkraut, if desired. In Michigan - they desire. lol.
• Squirt some mustard, your choice of flavor - over the kraut.
• If you're into horseradish, you want to schmear the top half of the bun with that.
• Cover the sandwich with the top bun; wrap in foil, and bake at 350 for about 15 minutes, until heated thru and bun is toasted.
• Sometimes people would ask for cheese to be added, so if you see yourself in that crowd, add it after the kraut.
