Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich:
Ingredients:
I package of Dunn’s smoked meat (I’ll grab the size when I visit Costco this week)
1 package of bread (rye is the usual for smoked meat for us)
Mustard to taste
Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stove.
Once it is boiling drop the packets in the water and cook for 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove with tongs and place on a plate.
Cut open and drain any liquid.
I take an extra step and blot any excess liquid off as I really dislike soggy sandwiches. So blot your little heart out, you will thank me later.
Now get your bread ready and you can start the process of grilling them on a foreman or panini pan. Best way to get the bread toasty and each sandwich stays super hot.
How To Photos:
Buy some really great bread!
Get it ready to go while you warm up your foreman.
Place a slice of bread first.
Begin stacking!
Until it’s ready to fall over, then you know you have enough!
Add your mustard. I like lots, and lots!
Place your second slice of bread on top!
Close the lid and cook for about 5-6 minutes or golden brown!
Remove carefully as foreman is wicked hot. Place on a plate.
Cut this sucker in half. If you want to be able to eat it you can scrunch it down a bit.
Now get ready to eat. And fight over who gets the first one. To me the cook should always get the first sandwich, but that’s only cuz I am the cook here. Different rules apply if I am at your place. Then you should totally serve your company first. It’s just polite.
Then make your kids clean the foreman. It’s only fair!!!
So that’s it folks. Easy, peasy and oh so tastieez. Okay that’s not a word but whatever, I’m sick and delirious. So forgive me. I shall stop at Costco this week and grab a pack just for you so I can write down the actual yield on the packages. Just remember buying more is such a sacrifice and I’m just doing it for you, my fans, cuz I love you. It has nothing to do with craving more of it. Seriously. No…really. It’s all for you.
Toodles and smoochies! xx (well maybe no smoochies today, don’t want to get you all sick)
Hope you feel better! The smoked meat sandwich sounds yummy! Stopping by to say "hi" from voiceBoks.com members to remember!
what a simple recipe and its fit us perfect when I am not too lazy to cook something more elaborated, nice outcome.
Oh, you poor thing…still not 100%? Hope you feel better soon, my friend. And thanks for sharing a dish that brings back such nostalgia. You are such a sweet daughter. How wonderful that you provided your dad with a favorite treat when he visited…and I'm sorry he's no longer with you. xoxo
PS…don't you worry a bit about sending that cookbook till you are fully recovered!
Yummo! I've always wanted to visit Quebec. You've just added another reason to my list!
Hope you feel better soon, my dear friend. Sandwich looks great. My kind of cooking.
I love sandwiches (and any other dish) with memories.It is funny how you keep your favourites long time after you leave parents home…
Bread in your sandwich looks amazing.Eat a ciouple and you will keep stronger;))
Hope you feel better soon!
Smoked meat is one of the highlights of Montreal, whenever people come to visit me they always want to go to Schwartz, no matter how long the line up. I'm sorry it brings sad memories for you, but glad it also has happy ones.
PS: I think you're talking about the ribs at Bar B Barn, so good!
I hope you feel better soon. It's amazing how so many different foods are connect with specific memories. Thinking of you…
I love hot and toasty sandwiches! This looks good! Hope you feel better soon!
Kim Bee dear, hope you feel better.. it's okay smooch away.. sharing is caring

I really hope you feel better soon!
Thank you for sharing with us such a scrumptious sandwich and, above all, the memories that come along with it!!! <3
OMG this looks absolutely delicious!!! I joined your site. Drop by my blog and see me sometime. Debbie Preston
I hope you feel better soon!! I am totally intrigued by this smoked meat- I dont think Ive ever had it!! The sandwich looks totally tasty.
I just read post before this one..awww I am so sorry that you are not feeling better..you got to lay down and chillex as my son would say to me:))
Bread look amazing, and your sandwich..mmm really really good! Yum!!!
Some people do not realize how delicious a sandwich can be. My husband hates them, I guess growing up on bologna may have had its impact. Anyhow I would love to have your sandwich for lunch-Yum! Hope you are back to feeling better in no time.
I love sandwiches a little too much I think.
Hope you are getting to feel better! And thank you for sharing a moment of your childhood with us – this sandwich sounds phenomenal =)
It was so much fun to read about your memories. More than anything else, I think food evokes memories and nostalgia.
Ugh, I am sorry to hear that you are sick. I hope you feel better soon.
That sandwich looks delicious!
This sandwich looks so yummy! I think I could probably live off of sandwiches, especially ones like this.
And thank you for all the super nice comments you leave on my blog!
Oh yum! Great sandwiches. I hope you start feeling better soon!
Hi everyone. I know I am so behind on my replies. I usually respond pretty quick. Thanks for understanding. Feeling quite a bit better now.
@Michelle- Thanks for stopping by. And thanks for the well wishes and compliment.xx
@Nava- This is perfect for lazy days. Or busy days when you only have 10 minutes and don't want to order pizza. Smoked meat rocks.
@Lizzy- Thanks so much. I actually took care of my Dad in his home during his last days. He was terminal and wanted to be at home during the whole thing so other than 2 weeks in hospital I spent 8 months taking care of him. Worst and best experience of my life if that makes any sense. So worth all the sacrifices, and am thankful I did it. Thanks for being sweet. I am hitting the post office tomorrow now that I feel a bit better. Have a parcel for my sister too. Let me know when it arrives.xx
@Shannon- Oh you will love it there. And I'll add another reason for ya. The shopping is out of this world.
@Christine- You are so sweet, thank you so much. I love simple some days. It's just nice to take a break.
@Dzoli- Thanks my dear. I am starting to return to normal. Not sure if that's good or bad news. Lol!
@Lynn- Omg Schwartz is so good. I'd wait three days if I had to. So worth it. Thank you so much for the right name of that place. I have pics of it but the name isn't on them. I always loved going there. More than anywhere else. The ribs are the best I've ever had. Lucky you to live there. I spent so much time there as a kid. Would love to visit with my own kids next year.
@Ann- Thanks my dear. I feel like I fell off the face of the earth this week. But I am back. And now have the Gloria Gaynor song stuck in my head yet again.
@Stephanie- Thanks so much. I am doing much better now.
@Jo- Thanks. I do tend to smooch too much. Lol!
@Manu- Thanks so much my dear.
@Debbie- Thanks and welcome. Shall drop by tonight and check it out.
@Lindsey- I hope they have it near you. You want "montreal smoked meat"- Dunn's is pretty good, but any deli you trust would be okay to try it. I am doing a homemade version soon so will heads up ya when I do in case it's something you can't find locally.
@Sandra- Thanks so much. Your son is a smart dude. I am glad you stopped by, I know you are busy so I appreciate it.
@Tina- Thanks. I am not a cold sandwich person but give me a warm one and I'll be your bff for sure. Love them. Already almost back to normal. Which could be scary news. Lol!
@Gwenevere- No such thing as too much love. Lol!
@Peggy- Thanks so much. I never know if I overshare sometimes.
@Kristen- Thanks and totally agree. It can bring back a memory so fast for me. My mom is shepherd's pie and french fries. Dad is lasagna and smoked meat.
@savoryandsavage- Thanks so much. Doing much better now.
@Russell- Thanks. Nothing like a good sandwich. And you are so welcome. You have a real gift. I always love stopping by.
@Erin- Thank you. I am doing much better today.
Kim…what a lovely, nostalgic post! I'm so sorry you are not feeling well still and I wish you a speedy recovery!
