Chef Recipe: Harry’s Hot Sandwiches

by Jessica Brush photos by Ethan Harrison

September 02, 2016

Harry Manning wanted to offer Beacon locals an affordable place to enjoy lunch, so he asked his friend, Carlos Laguna- Driscoll, to help him design a hit menu of hot sandwiches. Carlos’ Bolivian flavor mixed with Harry’s taste for local foods to produce a list of signature recipes and delicious classics. The shop, endearingly tagged “sandwich heaven,” opened in 2015 and has since become a town favorite.

We asked Harry and Carlos to share a recipe with us, and they graciously offered the secrets behind one of the most popular items on their menu: the “Décent” Chicken.

First, you will need to make the main ingredients for the sandwich. They are: a tangy daikon slaw, a zesty peanut sauce, and, of course, some chicken.

daikon slaw

Ingredients:

1 small daikon radish, julienned
1-2 carrots, julienned
2 cups cider vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 cup water



Method:

In a pot, stir together the cider vinegar, water, and sugar. Heat the mixture until the sugar dissolves fully and the liquid is clear. Once that is done, refrigerate it for at least one hour. Next, in a small bowl, combine the daikon and carrots. Transfer them into a pickling jar, packing them in as you go. Finally, add a brine of cider vinegar, sugar, and water, making sure to cover the slaw. Let it sit for at least one hour before adding it to the sandwich.

peanut sauce

Ingredients:

2 cups dry or roasted peanuts (unsalted)
1.5 ounces cilantro (including stems)
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 lime, juice only
2 teaspoons jalapeno sauce
1 cup water

method:

This one is easy. Simply blend all of the ingredients in a food processor, adding more water if necessary.

chicken breast

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts
1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons turmeric
1 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 tablespoon ginger
1 head of garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper

method:

Pulse all ingredients, except for the chicken, in a food processor until roughly mixed. Then, marinate the chicken in the mixture for at least one hour. Roast at 350 degrees on a sheet pan with a rack until the chicken reaches 165 degrees.

the décent sandwich serves 4

Ingredients:

4 ciabatta rolls (buttered)
Mayonnaise
Peanut sauce
4 chicken breasts
Daikon slaw
Cilantro (fresh)

method:

It’s time to assemble your sandwiches. Slice and toast the ciabatta rolls in a pan. Then, spread mayonnaise on the top slices and a generous helping of peanut sauce on the bottom slices. Next, cut up the chicken breasts, and place them on the bottom halves. Top with some daikon slaw and three or four stems of cilantro, each, followed by the top slices of ciabatta. Cut the sandwiches in half, and enjoy.
