Anthony Bourdain’s Favourite Sandwich – varianta noastra, simpla, decadent de buna si complet irezistibila!Daca nu esti neaparat fan sandwichuri, acest combo te va face sa iti schimbi parerea instant. Este crocant la exterior, suculent la interior si atat de plin de savoare incat te intrebi cum poate ceva atat de simplu sa fie atat de genial. Anthony Bourdain l-a numit unul dintre sandwichurile lui preferate – si pe buna dreptate. Alege o mortadella buna, cu personalitate. Noi am mers pe doua variante: una cu fistic si una cu trufe. Ambele au fost absolut WOW. In mod clasic, Bourdain folosea provolone, dar cum nu am gasit, am mers pe mozzarella feliata – si a functionat excelent. Sa trecem la treaba!

INGREDIENTE (pentru 2 portii)

• 1 bagheta
• 6 felii mortadella
• 6 felii mozzarella
• 4 lingurite maioneza
• 4 lingurite mustar
• 30 grame unt

Incepem prin a taia bagheta in doua bucati potrivite si apoi fiecare bucata pe jumatate, astfel incat sa avem baza si capacul pentru fiecare sandwich. Incingem o tigaie si o ungem cu foarte putin ulei de masline, apoi asezam trei felii de mortadella sub forma de floricica si le lasam sa se rumeneasca usor, exact cat sa prinda margini crocante. Cand sunt gata pe o parte, le intoarcem si asezam cate o felie de mozzarella peste fiecare, lasand branza sa se topeasca incet si frumos peste mortadella fierbinte.

In timp ce mortadella cu mozzarella se transforma intr-un strat minunat si lipicios, in partea libera a tigaii punem un cubulet de unt si asezam bucatile de bagheta cu miezul in jos, astfel incat sa se rumeneasca si sa capete crusta aceea aurie, usor caramelizata, care va face tot sandwichul sa fie mult mai bun decat te-ai astepta de la o reteta atat de simpla.

Cand totul este gata, luam baza baghetei si o ungem cu maioneza, apoi ridicam cu grija mortadella cu mozzarella topita si o asezam peste bagheta, lasand straturile sa se instaleze generos unele peste altele. Partea superioara a baghetei o ungem cu mustar si o asezam peste umplutura, apasand usor cat sa se imprieteneasca aromele si sa se transforme intr-un sandwich care curge, trosneste si miroase a ceva absolut delicios.

Il servim pe loc, cat este cald, pentru ca acesta este tipul de sandwich care nu asteapta si nici nu merita sa fie mancat rece. Simplitatea lui este cea care il face atat de genial, fix genul de reteta care te face sa spui ca uneori cele mai simple ingrediente dau cele mai bune rezultate.

Anthony Bourdain’s Favourite Sandwich

Anthony Bourdain’s Favourite Sandwich – our version, simple, decadent and completely irresistible! Even if you are not the biggest sandwich fan, this combo will instantly change your mind. It is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and so packed with flavor that you can’t help wondering how something so simple can taste this incredible. Anthony Bourdain himself called it one of his favourite sandwiches – and for good reason. Choose a good mortadella with personality. We went with two versions: one with pistachios and one with truffles. Both were absolutely WOW. Traditionally, Bourdain used provolone, but since we couldn’t find any, we used sliced mozzarella – and it worked beautifully. Let’s get started!

INGREDIENTS (for 2 servings)

• 1 baguette
• 6 slices mortadella
• 6 slices mozzarella
• 4 teaspoons mayonnaise
• 4 teaspoons mustard
• 30 grams butter

We start by cutting the baguette into two even pieces and then slicing each piece in half so we get the base and the top for each sandwich. We heat a pan and grease it with just a little olive oil, then place three slices of mortadella shaped like a little flower and let them brown gently, just enough to get those crispy edges. When they are ready on one side, we flip them and place a slice of mozzarella on top, letting the cheese melt slowly and beautifully over the hot mortadella
While the mortadella and mozzarella turn into a gorgeous, sticky layer, we place a small cube of butter in the empty part of the pan and add the baguette pieces with the cut side down so they can toast and develop that golden, lightly caramelized crust that makes the whole sandwich far better than you would expect from something so simple
When everything is ready, we take the bottom of the baguette and spread it with mayonnaise, then gently lift the mortadella with the melted mozzarella and place it on top, letting the layers settle generously over one another. We spread mustard on the top half of the baguette and place it over the filling, pressing gently so the flavors blend together and the sandwich becomes warm, melty and absolutely delicious
We serve it right away, while it is still hot, because this is the kind of sandwich that doesn’t wait and definitely doesn’t deserve to be eaten cold. Its simplicity is exactly what makes it so brilliant, the kind of recipe that reminds you that sometimes the simplest ingredients create the best results
