Life’s too short to have a boring lunch even in lockdown. Something simple but definitely not boring. The Ploughman’s Lunch (or deconstructed sandwich) has boiled eggs, some cold cuts bit of salad greens and some pickles.
At the start of lockdown, I made a mixed vegetable pickle which we’ve christened Gladys’s Pickles in honour of Gladys Berejiklian who is a constant presence in our lives here in Sydney during lockdown.
Cold cuts to use are some sliced ham, salami, thinly sliced prosciutto and here I used mortadella with olives. I think you need a sturdy bread to go with it, preferably toasted like sourdough or rye. White bread is also okay if that’s what you’ve got.
