Ingredients
- 2 packages of Famille Fontaine Grain-fed Veal Leg Cutlets
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 500 ml of spicy tomato sauce or your favourite
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 red onions thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 125 g cremini mushrooms sliced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 fresh sprig of thyme
- Grana Padano or Parmesan cheese, grated (1 tablespoon per sandwich)
- Mozzarella cheese grated (2-3 tablespoons per sandwich)
- Arugula
- 4 crusty Portuguese buns
Instructions
- Prep the Veal: Pat dry the veal with paper towels. Season the veal cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat.
- Sauté the Onions: Heat the olive oil in a 12" skillet on the grill. Add the sliced red onions and sauté until soft, 8-10 minutes. Push them to one side of the pan.
- Cook the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the butter to the cleared side of the pan. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms, minced garlic, thyme and stir. Cook until lightly browned, about 6-8 minutes.
- Heat the Tomato Sauce: While the onions are cooking, warm the spicy tomato sauce in a small saucepan until heated through.
- Toast the Buns: Toast the buns on the grill until golden and crisp. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- Grill the Veal: Grill the veal cutlets for 1-2 minutes per side over medium heat, just until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. Remove from the grill and let rest while you build the sandwiches.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread 3 tablespoons of tomato sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Sprinkle the Grana Padano cheese and grated mozzarella. Layer with 2 ½ pieces of grilled veal, mushrooms, and onions. Top with a handful of fresh arugula and the other half of the bun.
- Serve: Serve the sandwiches with extra tomato sauce on the side for dipping.
