Foodie Fridays: Elvis's PB&B Snack

This is one of my favourite snacks. Its Elvis Presley's famous 'fried' Peanut Butter sandwich. I'm afraid, however, its my healthier version. Elvis's PB&B ... and B has no jelly, just peanut butter, lots of butter, bacon and banana. I wouldn't recommend Elvis's sandwich fried in bacon fat. Ours, on the other hand will be multigrain bread, peanut butter, banana and olive oil instead of butter.

A great summer cooler to go with the PB&B is a big jar of Cranberry Lime Iced Tea. (Recipe coming next Foodie Fridays!). If you ask some of my friends, they'll tell you how addicted I was to Iced Tea all through high school. I'm not a big coffee fan. Well, except the cold coffee you get at the Delhi High Court Canteen. Its more like a coffee milkshake. Yum. I digress, yet again. 

Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich

Right. So we will need (for 1 sandwich):

• 2 slices of multigrain bread
• Smooth peanut butter
• 1 ripe banana
• Your favorite olive oil for cooking

Method:

• Slice the banana lengthwise in half and then slice the halves lengthwise again.
• Pour some olive oil in the pan and lightly fry the bananas until golden brown. Slightly cooking the banana gives it a great cooked/pan fried flavour. Cook for not more than 20-30 seconds on each side because its very easy to overcook and burn the banana. 
• Lightly toast the slices of bread before putting them in the pan. 
• Spread some of the smooth peanut butter over one slice and the sliced banana on the other slice. Put one slice over the other to make a closed sandwich.
• Place the sandwich in the pan, turning it over every few minutes until crispy and brown. You can pour some more olive oil if you like.
