I spend a lot of time in the UK, and when I’m in London, one of my favourite places to spend a Saturday morning is Borough Market. It bustles with people and teems with butchers, fishmongers, cheese makers, and spice traders. Not only can you get all your groceries from local purveyors, but there is an endless amount of takeout food stalls, with offerings from freshly shucked oysters and a glass of Champagne (be prepared, the lineups for oysters are always the longest) to paella, falafel, raclette, and much more—make sure you arrive with a healthy appetite.
The idea for this sandwich came about when my friends and I stopped at the market one Saturday morning and had breakfast. My pick was a duck pastrami Monte Cristo. It was a delight. I would have loved to include duck pastrami in this recipe, but it’s simply much too hard to find; if you can find it, though, or better yet, if you can make it, go ahead and include it! This sandwich comes together quite quickly and would be great not only for a weekend brunch but also for a weeknight dinner.

She’s pretty, isn’t she? Not all sandwiches can say they wear a billowing crown of cucumber ribbons, but this one sure can! A lot is going on here; some may be tempted to say too much, but trust me, dear readers, every part of her is meant to be there. The tangy citrus BBQ sauce that the salmon has been encased in kisses the aioli, and let me tell you, if you’re a fan of saucy sandwiches, this one will have you singing! Not to mention the crunch and salt from the pancetta and the freshness of the cucumber. I just decided this sandwich might win best in show!
Like some of the other sauces in the book, you’ll have some left- over BBQ sauce after you make this sandwich. But that’s okay; store it in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 3 weeks and use it on everything from wings to burgers and even homemade pizza. The aioli is another one of those recipes-within-a-recipe. It’s wonderful with this sandwich but can be used in so many other ways, like on your favourite sandwich or even as a dressing for roasted vegetables. It’s like your favourite three-for-one sale, but in a recipe (is three-for-one a thing?).

I remember when I was a kid, my family and I would visit my godmother Carm’s place in Toronto all the time. From the moment I was born Carm and I shared an unbreakable bond and her influence on me is reflected in the person I am today. To say that she played an enormous part in my life would be an understatement. She was the person who first introduced me to the fantastical world of cookbooks, and I know that if she were here today this would be the only cookbook on her shelf. Carm, I miss you every day.
Carm’s entire backyard was covered in Concord grape vines. Every summer we would make the trek up, and one of the jobs my twin brother and I had was to help her harvest the grapes. The owners of the house before Carm had planted them to make wine, but she was certainly not interested in that. Concord grape jam or jelly is nice, but you need only so much of it in your life. So what did she do with the extra grapes? She roasted them and ate them on toast, a sort of shortcut to jam, you might say.
I’ve taken this idea and added to it. Here the roasted grapes sit on a pillowy bed of whipped goat cheese and sweet honey, and a crowd of pistachio pieces and fresh mint are balanced on top.
Finish with a wispy drizzling of olive oil, and she’s ready for her close-up. I think Carm would approve.
