Categories     main-dish

Time 4h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 bunch (about 1-1/4 pounds) broccoli rabe, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup sliced pickled hot cherry peppers, roughly chopped, plus 3 tablespoons of their pickling liquid
1 large sesame semolina loaf (about 14-by-4-inches and about 10 ounces)
1/3 pound thinly sliced provolone
1/4 pound thinly sliced prosciutto
1/4 pound thinly sliced salami
1/4 pound thinly sliced mortadella

Steps:

  • Put the 1/4 cup olive oil and the garlic slices in a large skillet and place over medium heat. When the garlic starts to turn a light golden brown, add the broccoli rabe, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir to coat evenly in the oil. Cover the skillet with a lid and turn the heat down to low. Cook until the broccoli rabe stems are just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Uncover and turn the heat up to medium-high. Stir in the cherry pepper pickling liquid and cook until the pan is dry, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.
  • Slice the semolina loaf horizontally and lay the two halves cut-side up. Pull out some of the bread from both halves (reserve for another use), leaving a 1/2--inch border. Drizzle both halves with some olive oil. Spread half of the broccoli rabe on the bottom half. Layer on the cherry peppers, provolone, prosciutto, salami, mortadella, the remaining broccoli rabe and the top half of bread. Wrap tightly in parchment, wax paper or plastic wrap and tie with twine if necessary. Place a brick (see Cook's Note) or cast-iron skillet on top for at least 3 hours to flatten, refrigerated. About 45 minutes before serving, bring the sandwich to room temperature.

ITALIAN PORK SANDWICH WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND SHARP PROVOLONE



Italian Pork Sandwich with Broccoli Rabe and Sharp Provolone image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 3/4-pound pork tenderloin
Kosher salt
Olive oil
Two 8-inch seeded semolina rolls, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon Calabrian chiles in oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 bunch broccoli rabe
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 slices sharp provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Sprinkle the pork tenderloin generously with salt. Coat the preheated grill pan with oil. Sear the tenderloin on all sides until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145 F, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Toast the rolls, cut side-down, on the grill pan allowing the bread to crisp up and soak up the flavor from the pork. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, Parmesan, Calabrian chiles and vinegar in a small bowl.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with salted water and ice. Add the broccoli rabe to the boiling water and cook until just tender, about 1 minute. Remove from boiling water and drop immediately into the ice bath. Once cool, remove, drain and roughly chop.
  • Coat a large skillet with oil and heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until just soft, about 1 minute. Add the broccoli rabe, season with salt and saute until heated through.
  • Build the sandwiches: Spread the mayonnaise-chile mixture on the toasted sides of a roll. Top the bottom of the roll with half the pork, broccoli rabe and provolone cheese. Top with top piece of the roll and transfer to a baking tray. Build the second sandwich with the remaining ingredients. Bake just until cheese melts, about 3 minutes.
  • Slice each sandwich in half and serve!

ITALIAN CHICKEN CUTLET SANDWICH WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND PROVOLONE



ITALIAN CHICKEN CUTLET SANDWICH WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND PROVOLONE image

Categories     Sandwich     Chicken     Quick & Easy

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 19

Chicken:
4 (4-6 ounces) chicken cutlets (about ½-inch thickness)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon salt
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons olive oil
Broccoli Rabe:
1 bunch broccoli rabe, stems removed*
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon salt
4 torpedo rolls or ciabatta rolls
8 slices provolone cheese
Variation:
Substitute veal cutlets for chicken.

Steps:

  • 1. In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk eggs, milk, crushed red pepper, and salt. 2. Place flour in a separate wide, shallow bowl. Repeat with breadcrumbs. 3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 3 tablespoons olive oil. 4. Dip one chicken cutlet at a time in the flour, then in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip into the bowl. Dredge in the bread crumbs, ensuring that the entire cutlet is evenly coated. Add to the skillet, and cook 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp. Place on a paper-towel lined dish. Repeat with remaining slices. 5. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Boil broccoli rabe for 2 minutes; drain and plunge into a bowl of ice water. "Shocking" the rabe will maintain its vivid green color. 6. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and garlic. Sauté until garlic starts to turn golden. Add broccoli rabe, crushed red pepper, and salt. Sauté 1-2 minutes more until just tender. 7. Place one split roll on a clean work surface. Place chicken cutlet on the bottom half of the roll. Top with ¼ of the broccoli rabe and 2 slices of cheese. Place under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Serve immediately. *Shopping Note: Broccoli rabe, also known as rapini, rape, and broccoli raab, is a popular Italian vegetable. It looks like slender broccoli and has a sharp, slightly bitter flavor. It is available at Italian markets as well as most major supermarkets.

  • Use a good quality bread for the sandwich. A sturdy bread will hold up well to the filling and prevent it from becoming soggy.
