Ingredients

  • 12 to 16 Slices porchetta sliced about ¼-inch thick
  • 1 Cup arugula
  • 1 Cup salsa verde (my recipe!)
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced
  • 4 ciabatta rolls

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F.
  • Lay the sliced porchetta on a 9 x 13-inch or larger baking pan and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, only to remove the chill from the leftover porchetta and slightly warm the slices.
  • Remove from the oven when done warming and set aside.
  • Cut the ciabatta rolls in half and lightly toast if liked.
  • Spread about a tablespoon of of salsa verde on the top and bottom of the ciabatta.
  • Add ¼ cup of arugula to each ciabatta bottom, then top with 3 or 4 slices of porchetta.
  • Add sliced red onions and then drizzle with more salsa verde, and serve immediately.

Notes

Slice when cold: Chilled porchetta is easier to cut into thin even pieces.
Avoid overcooking: The slices are already cooked so they only need to warm through, not brown. Check after 5 minutes to avoid overcooking.
Use quality bread: A sturdy roll keeps the sandwich from getting soggy.
Serve right away: The bread stays crisp and the flavors are at their best when eaten fresh.
