VICTORIAN WATERCRESS TEA SANDWICHES FOR HIGH TEA AND …



Victorian Watercress Tea Sandwiches for High Tea and … image

During Victorian times, children used to take watercress sandwiches to school in place of meat ones. I love them, especially when cut into small trianges and served with a cuppa (cup of tea!). Use the freshest bread - I like to use wholemeal, and a fresh salted farmhouse butter. I have included a soup idea at the end of the recipe, to be made with the excess stalks! So a soup and sandwich recipe then!

Total Time 5 minutes

Prep Time 5 minutes

Yield 8 Rounds of Sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 bunches watercress
softened butter
16 thin slices bread
sea salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Snip the stalks from the watercress and place the leafy ends on kitchen paper to absorb any water. Butter the bread generously, arrange the watercress over 4 slices and season. Top with the remaining bread, cut into triangles or fingers and serve.
  • NB. (Don't discard the watercress stalks; they can be made into a soup. Soften a chopped onion in a pan with butter, add 250ml whole milk and bring to the boil. Add the stalks, cook for 1 minute then liquidise until smooth and foamy.).

Another elegant traditional English sandwich served with Cucumber Sandwiches and Egg and Cress Sandwiches for an English high tea or supper. Or these days, on numerous occasions!

Total Time 10 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Yield 24 watercress sandwich rounds

Number Of Ingredients 7

125 g unsalted butter, softened
25 g watercress leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
16 slices thinly cut white bread
32 sprigs watercress, plus extra for garnish

Steps:

  • The Watercress Butter: In a food processor, blend the butter, watercress leaves, lemon juice, black pepper and cayenne pepper until the mixture is very smooth. Let the mixture stand for about 30 minutes at room temperature or chill it, but bring it back to room temperature before using.
  • Watercress Sandwiches: Spread each slice of bread with about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the watercress butter, and cut 4 rounds from each slice with a 4-cm (11/2 inch) round or fluted cutter.
  • Arrange a watercress sprig on half the rounds, leaving a little extending over the edge of each and invert the remaining rounds on top to complete the sandwiches.
  • Serve the sandwiches on a tray decorated with the extra watercress sprigs.
