Equipment
- Large Baking Tray or Frying Pan (for toasting bread)
- Small Pot & Brush (for coating bread)
- Medium Sized Mixing Bowl & Whisk (for rocket salad)
- Bread Knife
Ingredients
Sandwich
- 10 fairly thin slices of Ciabatta (see notes)
- 20 slices Salami (approx 4oz/120g total)
- 5oz / 150g Provolone, sliced or shaved with a vegetable peeler (see notes)
- 2-3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 5 tsp Pesto Mayo (see notes)
Rocket
- 2oz / 60g Rocket/Arugula
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Honey
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Add ciabatta slices to a large baking tray and brush with oil. Pop under the grill and broil until lightly golden, then flip, brush with more oil and broil again until lightly golden on the other side.
- Meanwhile, in a medium-sized mixing bowl whisk together 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1/2 tsp honey and a pinch of salt & pepper to taste. Add rocket and toss to coat.
- Spread half of the toasted ciabatta with a thin layer of mayo. Top with a pinch of the rocket, followed by folded salami. Top with cheese, then add the second slice of ciabatta on top.

Notes
a) Bread - I love ciabatta for these sandwiches, mainly because it crisps up really well. Something firm like Sourdough would also work nicely too. For reference, the 10 slices I used came to 10.5oz/300g total.
b) Toasting the Bread - I'd usually toast the bread in a pan, but since we've got a lot of slices it's easiest to do them all at once under the grill. Having said that, you can still fry the bread in a pan if you'd prefer. The main difference is the bread comes out dryer/slightly crunchier under the grill.
c) Pesto Mayo - You only need a tiny bit of this to add some moisture to the sandwich. It's essentially just mayo mixed with pesto and a squeeze of lemon juice (recipe here). You can alternatively use either mayonnaise or pesto. If you find the oil from the bread and dressing from the rocket enough to prevent a dry sandwich, then you can leave it out altogether if you'd prefer.
d) Provolone - This pairs beautifully with salami, but it can be tricky to find here in the UK. I usually pick it up from my local Italian Grocer but realise not everyone has access to that (plus it's pricey!). My favourite subs are Gouda or Mozzarella, although they are much creamier and not as sharp as Provolone.
