Duck Sandwich

Ingredients (for three sandwiches)

6 slices of bread
1 apple
6 slices of cured, dryish duck (you could also use a really fancy dry ham if you wanted to)
some chives
a little olive oil
some good mustard (Maille is nice)

Equipment

Frying pan
Toaster

1) Toast the bread, chop the chives, and put mustard and chives on the bread.
2) Wash the apple, cut it into slices (as thick as you want in your sandwich), and take out the seeds.
3) Heat the oil in the pan at setting 3 or 4, and cook the apple slices for 1-3 minutes on each side (depending on their thickness and on how cooked you want the apple)
4) On three of the bread slices, put a slice of apple, a slice of duck, and some chopped chives. Put the plain slices on top to make three sandwiches. You will have leftover apple, so repeat until you are not hungry anymore. This will fill you up faster in the U.S., since bread comes in much larger slices there.

How to use as baby food:

Obviously you can't just hand a baby a sandwich, but you can cut or tear off small pieces of apple and bread and feed it to him. It's a good way to teach your baby to like mustard, too.
