Community The Keyblade Kitchen: Round I

​

Welcome to the Keyblade Kitchen!

These past two months, a few of our members took the challenge of the KEYBLADE KITCHEN that we have begun to host in our Discussion section, and created some nifty recipes and food inspired by both the theme and Kingdom Hearts!

The theme of February and March was a sandwich, which must incorporate lettuce somewhere, but it also required that each ingredient was connected to a Princess of Heart in some way!

The battles were tough and the foods look delicious, and this month it was Ars Nova's Hearty Princess Steak Sandwich that came out on top! A big round of applause for him, and a big round of applause for all of our contestants this month!

Interested in joining the Keyblade Kitchen this coming month? Read more in the first thread here.

Without further ado, the winning recipe:​

Ars Nova's HEARTY PRINCESS STEAK SANDWICH:

HEARTY PRINCESS STEAK SANDWICH


Ingredients
The theme of the ingredients is hair color. For Alice, Aurora, and Cinderella, we have mayonnaise, swiss & gouda cheese (Ash said I could use white ingredients for the blondes SHUT U). For Snow White and Jasmine, we have kalamanda olives and ground black pepper. Of course Belle contributes the Philly steak, and for the clincher, we have a bit of puréed roasted red peppers representing Kairi. (The red peppers don't necessarily have to be puréed, but that'll come up again shortly.) We also have the prereq, of course - in this case a moderate helping of sweet butter lettuce leaves - and hoagie rolls to bring it all together. You'll also need a blender and a strainer... oh, and an oven & stove, of course.



Kairi's Kickin' Pepper Mayo
The first step to a hearty sandwich is a hearty sauce. Mix 4 Tbsp of mayo, 4 tsp red pepper, 4 olives, and 1/2 tsp ground pepper in a container and purée until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and pink...



...like so! Now, if your red peppers are pre-puréed you can mix in more by the teaspoon until you get just the right balance for your tastes. The more red pepper, the tangier it'll be - but be careful not to overpower the mayo. You can also leave the lettuce out of this step and add as much as you like to the sandwich later on, if you don't mind the texture. And finally, note that the ingredient amounts listed make enough sauce for four whole sandwiches, plus extra for dipping; if you're just feeding yourself, you can get by with a fourth of almost everything.



Beauty & the Beef
Set the burner on high and cook the steak to your satisfaction. We like it cooked right through without a trace of red, but it's up to you.



Mm, lookin' good :F Strain the cooked steak to minimize grease. You want it to be juicy, but not so much it gets all over when you try to eat it. Be sure to stir so the juice drains evenly.



Seven as One
Now, assemble as shown. Sauce on both sides, steak, cheese, cheese...



...then broil on 400° for about 3 minutes, depending on your oven. You're trying to get it crispy and hot without browning the bread too much. Well, unless you like it that way.



While the sandwiches are cooking is a good time to take a pet break. Ain't she a sweetheart? [CAUTION: Attempting to apprehend and serve your pets as part of the meal is highly discouraged. Results are unpredictable, not to mention it's generally frowned upon in most parts of the world.]


And here's your finished product. We left it in a lil' too long, but it still turned out pretty good. And don't mind the color of the sauce, it's still as tangy and sweet as ever~



Put it all together and serve! As previously mentioned, you may wish to use surplus sauce as a dip.

You're a Real Woman Now, Baby
