I'm reading my way through Sue Grafton's alphabet mystery series again. After about the third reference to Kinsey enjoying peanut butter with pickle sandwiches I decided to try it. Well, wow. This was the first one – a ciabatta bun, cut in half, toasted, spread with peanut butter and then a layer of sweet pickles.
From then on I have made them open-faced but doubled the amount of peanut butter. And experimented with bread'n'butter pickles. Next I plan to try dill pickles, sliced.
The peanut butter is homemade in one of those small electric food grinders using a cup of blanched and roasted unsalted peanuts with some olive oil added before processing.
It's an interesting and tasty combination of flavours and textures.
