Best Recipe for Breadless Italian Sub Sandwich
Ingredients
- 8 large Portobello mushrooms, wiped clean
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped pepperoncini with seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 ounces sliced provolone (about 4 slices)
- 2 ounces thinly sliced low-sodium ham (about 4 slices)
- 1 ounce thinly sliced Genoa salami (about 4 slices)
- 1 small tomato, cut into 4 slices
- 1/2 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 4 pimento-stuffed olives
Instructions
- Special equipment: Decorative toothpicks
- Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the oven broiler.
- Remove the stems from the mushrooms and discard. Lay the mushroom caps gill-side-up and use a sharp knife to completely remove the gills (so that the caps will lie flat). Arrange the mushroom caps on a baking sheet, brush all over with 1 tablespoon of oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Broil until the caps are just tender, flipping halfway through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Allow to cool completely.
- Whisk together the vinegar, pepperoncini, oregano, remaining 1 tablespoon oil and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Arrange one mushroom cap, cut side-up, on a work surface. Fold 1 piece of provolone to fit on top of the cap and repeat with 1 slice each of ham and salami. Top with 1 slice of tomato and about 2 tablespoons of lettuce. Drizzle with some of the pepperoncini vinaigrette. Sandwich with another mushroom cap and secure with a toothpick threaded with an olive. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more sandwiches. Wrap each sandwich halfway in wax paper (this will help catch all the juices) and serve.
