Why Halal checks matter here

A club sandwich is built around streaky pork bacon, and the sliced chicken or turkey is only Halal from Halal slaughter.

Halal-critical ingredients

• Streaky bacon: It is pork, and the original uses four rashers in two layers. Use turkey bacon from a Halal source, or Halal beef bacon. See Turkey bacon and Bacon.
• Chicken or turkey slices: Sliced poultry is Halal only from Halal slaughter. Use Halal chicken or turkey, cooked at home or from a certified pack. See Chicken.

Ingredients

Sandwich

• 4 rashers (4 rashers) turkey bacon or Halal beef bacon, in place of streaky pork bacon
• 3 slices (3 slices) white bread
• 1 tbsp (1 tbsp) mayonnaise
• 1 (1) hard-boiled egg, sliced
• 1 (1) tomato, sliced
• a few slices (a few slices) Halal chicken or turkey breast, thickly sliced
• a small handful (a small handful) salad leaves
• a handful (a handful) crisps, to serve (optional)

Method

1. Grill the bacon. Heat the grill to high and cook the turkey or Halal beef bacon, turning halfway, until crisp.
2. Toast the bread. Toast the bread and spread one slice with the mayonnaise.
3. Build the first layer. Layer the egg, tomato and half the bacon on the mayonnaise, then top with a second slice of toast.
4. Finish and cut. Add the chicken or turkey, the rest of the bacon and the lettuce, then the last slice of toast. Cut into quarters, secure each with a cocktail stick and serve with crisps if you like.

How this recipe was researched

Method adapted from BBC Good Food's 'Club sandwich' (4 rashers of streaky bacon grilled crisp; 3 slices of toast, one spread with mayonnaise; layered with egg, tomato and bacon, then chicken or turkey, more bacon and lettuce; cut into quarters). We replaced the bacon with turkey bacon or Halal beef bacon and specified Halal chicken or turkey. Timings follow the published technique rather than a kitchen test.
