Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- 4-5 tangerines
- 1L water
- 200g sugar
- 2 tbsp pickling spice
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- Generous amount of olive oil (or confit oil)
- 100g sliced chicken breast
- 1 avocado
- Appropriate amount of vegan mayonnaise
- Pinch of pepper
- A little chopped scallion
- A little herbs
Recipe 🍳
- Prick the surface of the tangerines, cleaned with baking soda, with a paring knife to allow the syrup to penetrate well.
- In a pot, combine 1L water, sugar, and pickling spice. Once the syrup boils, add the prepared tangerines and simmer over medium heat for about 1 hour until translucent. Then, remove and lightly squeeze out excess moisture.
- In a pan, add a generous amount of olive oil and toast the sourdough bread slices until crispy on both sides, as if absorbing the oil.
- Lightly warm the sliced chicken breast in the oven or on a pan. Thinly slice the avocado.
- On the toasted bread, place the whole tangerine marmalade and spread it gently. Then, layer the avocado and chicken breast.
- Drizzle vegan mayonnaise over the top, and finish the plating with pepper, chopped scallions, and herbs of your choice.
- Prick the tangerines and simmer with sugar water and pickling spice for 1 hour to make marmalade.
- Lightly fry the sourdough bread in olive oil until crispy.
- Layer the tangerine marmalade, sliced avocado, and warmed chicken breast on the bread.
- Top with mayonnaise, pepper, scallions, and herbs to complete the open sandwich.
Cooking tips 💡
- Making deep cuts or holes in the tangerines allows the syrup to penetrate deeply, making the peel soft and sweet.
- Using plenty of olive oil when toasting the bread maximizes the flavor, resulting in a richer, nuttier taste.
- Do not discard the leftover tangerine syrup. Strain it and reduce it by simmering to create a useful base for warm tangerine tea or beverages.
