Irish breakfast roll

Dublin deli roll stuffed with rashers, sausages, pudding and egg

The breakfast roll is the hot deli sandwich of Irish petrol stations and corner shops, eaten from its paper bag by builders, commuters and students all over the country from early morning. A long, crusty baguette-style roll is packed with what is in a fry: pork sausages, rashers, black and white pudding and a fried egg, with butter and brown sauce or ketchup. Chef's tip: warm the roll in the oven so it is crisp outside and soft within before you load it.

Method

0/5 done
  1. Step 1: Heat the oven to 350°F (325°F fan). Fry the 4 pork sausages in half the 1 tbsp sunflower oil over a medium-low heat for 15 minutes, turning, until browned and 160°F inside with no pink.

    15 min
  2. Step 2: Fry the 4 back bacon rashers for 2–3 minutes a side and the 2 slices black pudding and 2 slices white pudding for 2 minutes a side, until crisp.

    6 min
  3. Step 3: Put the 2 demi-baguettes or long crusty rolls in the oven for 4 minutes to warm.

    4 min
  4. Step 4: Fry the 2 eggs in the rest of the oil until the whites are set; a common mistake is a runny egg in a roll, which ends up down your sleeve, so cook the yolk a little firmer.

    3 min
  5. Step 5: Split the rolls along one side, spread with ⅔ oz butter, pack in the sausages (halved lengthways), rashers, puddings and egg, add the 2 tbsp brown sauce or ketchup and eat hot.

Mazorca desgranada

Food trucks and street corners in Bogotá and Medellín sell mazorca desgranada in plastic tubs, late into the evening: sweet corn kernels cut off the cob, fried in butter and layered with shredded chicken, melted cheese, crunchy potato sticks, pineapple sauce and salsa rosada. Some stands add bacon, beef or quail eggs; this version keeps to chicken. It is sweet, salty and gooey, and a hit with teenagers. Using tinned corn without draining it well is a common error: the water dilutes the sauces and the tub gets soggy. Chef's tip: fry the corn until a few kernels brown and pop; that caramelised edge stands up to all the sweet sauces. For a vegetarian tub, skip the chicken and use a cheese made with microbial rennet.

Doubles

Doubles are Trinidad's favourite street food, sold from carts at dawn on corners from Curepe to San Fernando and said to have started in Princes Town in the 1930s. Two pieces of bara, a soft, puffy fried flatbread coloured with turmeric, are piled with soft curried chickpeas (channa), then spooned with sweet tamarind sauce, cool cucumber chutney, shado beni sauce and as much pepper sauce as you dare ('slight' or 'heavy'). They're messy, cheap and wonderful, eaten standing up from a square of paper. These are different from Indian chole bhature: the bara is light and yeasty, the channa is cooked very soft in Caribbean curry, and the toppings are sweet, sour and fiery all at once. Chef's tip: keep the bara dough very soft and wet, and handle it only with oiled hands. Stretch each ball thin over your fingers and slide it straight into the hot oil, so it puffs light and stays soft instead of turning into a crisp puri.
