Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the herb oilIn a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, sage, and lemon zest. Stir well and let sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
-
Warm the porchettaHeat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced porchetta to the pan and warm for 2-3 minutes per side until slightly crispy on the edges and heated through. If using cold porchetta from the refrigerator, you may need to heat it slightly longer.
-
Toast the breadWhile the porchetta is warming, lightly brush the cut sides of the ciabatta rolls with some of the herb oil. Place the rolls cut-side down in another skillet or on a griddle over medium heat. Toast until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Assemble the sandwichesSpread a thin layer of stone-ground mustard on the bottom half of each toasted ciabatta roll. Layer with the warmed porchetta slices, dividing equally among the sandwiches. Top with thin slices of fennel and a small handful of arugula leaves.
-
Finish the sandwichesDrizzle the remaining herb oil over the arugula, season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cover with the top half of the ciabatta roll. Press gently to compress the sandwich slightly.
-
ServeCut the sandwiches in half diagonally if desired and serve immediately while the porchetta is still warm and the bread is crisp.
