METHOD
For the Chutney
-
In a saucepan, mix all chutney ingredients together, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Let simmer for 10–15 minutes or until cranberries have popped and celery is tender.
-
Remove from heat and cool completely before using.
For the Pecans
-
In a heavy-bottom skillet, toast the pecans over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until they start to brown and smell toasted.
-
Add the butter and stir until it melts. Then add salt, cinnamon, sugar, and water. Stir until mixture becomes thick, about 3 minutes.
-
Transfer nuts to a sheet pan and separate them to allow them to cool completely before use.
For the Salad
-
In a bowl, toss the arugula, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper together.
-
Set aside.
For the Sandwich
-
Spread 4 tablespoons of chutney on 4 slices of bread. (Reserve remaining chutney for other sandwiches or meals.)
-
Top the chutney with 2 tablespoons of chopped pecans per sandwich.
-
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each of the remaining bread slices.
-
Arrange ¼ of the sliced turkey on top of the chutney on each sandwich, then top with ¼ cup of arugula salad mixture.
-
Lay slices of Brie across the arugula, and sprinkle more chopped pecans.
-
Top with remaining slices of bread.
