Features:High protein

Cuisine:

Irish

The breakfast roll is the hot deli sandwich of Irish petrol stations and corner shops, eaten from its paper bag by builders, commuters and students all over the country from early morning. A long, crusty baguette-style roll is packed with what is in a fry: pork sausages, rashers, black and white pudding and a fried egg, with butter and brown sauce or ketchup. Chef's tip: warm the roll in the oven so it is crisp outside and soft within before you load it.

Method

0/5 done

Step 1: Heat the oven to 350°F (325°F fan). Fry the 4 pork sausages in half the 1 tbsp sunflower oil over a medium-low heat for 15 minutes, turning, until browned and 160°F inside with no pink.
15 min
Step 2: Fry the 4 back bacon rashers for 2–3 minutes a side and the 2 slices black pudding and 2 slices white pudding for 2 minutes a side, until crisp.
6 min
Step 3: Put the 2 demi-baguettes or long crusty rolls in the oven for 4 minutes to warm.
4 min
Step 4: Fry the 2 eggs in the rest of the oil until the whites are set; a common mistake is a runny egg in a roll, which ends up down your sleeve, so cook the yolk a little firmer.
3 min
Step 5: Split the rolls along one side, spread with ⅔ oz butter, pack in the sausages (halved lengthways), rashers, puddings and egg, add the 2 tbsp brown sauce or ketchup and eat hot.

Sandwich grecKebab baguette

In Paris, a "grec" is the late-night kebab sandwich named after the Greek-run shops that first sold it in the Latin Quarter. On rue de la Huchette and rue Saint-André-des-Arts near Saint-Michel, students queue after a night out for crusty bread or pitta stuffed with meat shaved from a turning spit, lettuce, tomato and onion, a garlicky white sauce, and, the Paris touch, a handful of fries pushed right inside. This home version marinates chicken thighs in spiced yoghurt, sears them hard and slices them thin, with oven fries. It contains milk, egg (in the mayonnaise) and wheat. Chef's tip: slice the meat thinly across the grain after resting; thick chunks don't feel like a grec.

ZapiekankaOpen baguette with mushrooms and cheese

Zapiekanka is Polish street food born in the 1970s and perfected at the hatch windows around Plac Nowy in Kraków's Kazimierz district, where students and night owls queue for one at midnight. Half a long baguette is topped with mushrooms fried with onion, covered in grated cheese and baked until crisp at the edges and bubbling, then finished with a zigzag of ketchup and chives. The classic version has no meat at all. Use a hard cheese made with vegetarian rennet (many supermarket mild Cheddars and Goudas are). Chef's tip: fry the mushrooms until completely dry before they go on the bread; wet mushrooms make the baguette soggy instead of crisp.

PepitoGrilled beef and chicken sub

When the bars close in Caracas, the queues form at the pepito stands of Las Mercedes and Altamira: long soft rolls stuffed with griddled strips of beef and chicken, grated cheese, lettuce and tomato, a crunchy handful of potato sticks and squiggles of garlic sauce, ketchup and mustard. It's messy, generous food, best eaten on the pavement. The common mistake is crowding the griddle, so the meat stews instead of searing. Chef's tip: cook the beef and chicken separately in a very hot pan, in small batches.
