bird & cleaver

We know, we know, we are really losing touch. We totally should have made some sort of corned beef, baileys Irish cream, Guinness, potato, yellow beer turned unnaturally green abomination. Maybe we could have even put some cute little shamrock cake toppers on the finished product. Alas, we have missed the mark, yet again. Our sincerest apologies.

Please accept this humble sandwich in lieu of another contribution to the creative cupcake graveyard. It is our hope that the simple, but perfectly paired flavors in this sandwich will get us a pass this time. It may not be an XL Shamrock shake, but it's just going to have to do. So enjoy, it really is damn good.

Wait, that M.F sandwich is GREEN! Forget what we said. Saint Pat's sandwich = success.    

• good quality sandwich bread (we used sourdough)
• grapeseed oil
• 1 medium avocado, smashed
• 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• salt tt
• cayenne pepper tt (optional)
• pickled jalapeno
• thinly sliced radish
• cilantro

Season avocado with salt and cayenne. Add lime juice and mix until just combined.
Brush both sides of bread and skillet with grapeseed oil.Heat skillet to medium high heat.  Smear one slice of bread with the avocado mixture and top with the other slice of bread. Place in hot skillet and cook until golden on both sides.  Remove from heat and add pickled jalapeno, radish and cilantro to finish the sandwich.
