Ingredients
Scale
Porchetta and Bread
- 400g cooked porchetta, sliced thinly
- 4 sandwich rolls or ciabatta buns
Garlic Herb Mayo
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional
- Arugula or lettuce leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the garlic herb mayo: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mayo is aromatic.
- Prepare the sandwich rolls: Slice each sandwich roll or ciabatta bun horizontally. Spread a generous amount of the prepared garlic herb mayo evenly over both the top and bottom halves of each roll to enhance the flavor.
- Assemble the porchetta: Layer the thinly sliced cooked porchetta evenly on the bottom half of each mayo-coated roll to ensure every bite has savory meat.
- Add greens (optional): Place arugula or lettuce leaves on top of the porchetta if desired, for a fresh and crisp texture contrast.
- Finish and serve: Cover with the top half of the rolls, pressing gently. Serve the sandwiches immediately to enjoy the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use freshly cooked porchetta for best results, but leftover or store-bought cooked porchetta works well too.
- Adjust the amount of garlic in the mayo according to your taste preference.
- You can substitute mayonnaise with a light or vegan mayo option if preferred.
- Serve with a side of pickles or chips for a complete meal.
- If preparing ahead, keep the mayo and porchetta separate and assemble the sandwiches just before serving to prevent sogginess.
