Peanut Butter Sandwich With Sriracha and Pickles

This was really great! I made two of these for my girlfriend and myself while we're social distancing and trying to make use of stuff in our pantry. We decided to skip out on the sriracha, pickles, and soy sauce, but replaced it with some jelly that we had leftover. It still worked out perfectly. It's definitely going to become a staple quick-meal for us!

Day 1 of the Coronavirus lockdown. My roommates and I stumbled upon this recipe with low expectations. We just made this sandwich once with PB, sriracha, and thinly sliced dill pickles. It was so good that we made it again immediately after -- this time with thicker cut dill pickles, sambal, red onion, and PB. It was even better. THIS SANDWICH SLAPS.

What kind of pickles...sour or sweet?

A revelation! Let's face it: for adults, the strength of classic PBJ (for hiking and such) is convenience. But PBJ is too sweet, even with marmalade. THIS is an adult sandwich and just as easy. Don't forget the tamari as suggested. And next time, to achieve the "next level", I'm adding a delicate mist of---wait for it----fish sauce. (I know, I know. But I can't wait. In fact, I think I might just

Bread & Butter Pickles are the way to go. I have tried them all, and the combination with peanut butter is surprisingly delicious!

As a kid we ate pb & pickle sandwiches because that's what was in the cupboard. We also ate brown sugar & bean sandwiches, saltine cracker cereal, and cocoa made from Nestlé Quik, hot water & evaporated milk.

Did a taste test comparing PB (Jif) & bread & butter pickles to PB & kosher dills, same amount of sriracha added to each. Both were tasty and crunchy, but had too much sriracha (my fault!), the heat dominating the other flavors. Sample with kosher dills was salty and sour and mildly sweet. With B & B pickles, it was sweet, salty, with an end note of sour, a more complex flavor mix. Next time I’ll put just a very small dab of sriracha with the PB and stick with the B and B pickles.

My dad used to do a peanut butter and bacon sandwich - you broil it until the little slivers of bacon are done and the pb is cooked and brown on top. Heart-attack on a slab of bread, I know, but insanely delicious. And, for me, nostalgic.

Toasted whole grain bread + natural p.b. + sliced pickled jalapeños = :-)) !

He mentions in the narrative that the sandwich combines "sweet and salty," and I think the pickles are the only ingredient that could bring the sweetness. So I think those are sweet gherkins in the photo.

Can we get a definitive answer on what kind of pickles?

I made this today for lunch - it did not disappoint. I like regular peanut butter and pickle sandwiches, but this took it up a notch. So many flavors in every bite! It will definitely go into my rotation for lunches. I used bread and butter pickle slices.

I have been making peanut butter and gochujang sandwiches since I saw Mr. Sifton mention them once in an article. It's really outstanding. I can't wait to try the addition of pickles.

Try adding a little fresh cilantro in there, too. Yummy

I grew up eating pb and tomato sandwiches. I don't know where this originated from but it's something my parents ate and served. It's quite good. Try it.
