Nothing Beats a Mortadella Sandwich

Mortadella, Pesto and Fresh Mozzarella, yup! what makes this sandwich stand out is the traditional approach to making pesto. Originally made in a mortar and pestle, the flavour and texture you finish with doesn't compare to making it in a food processor or blender. When building your sandwich, add as little or as much as you want when it comes to the ingredients.

I'm eating Mortadella watching this, wish I had some pesto & fresh moz! Sometimes I'll just make a sandwich with only mortadella, provolone, sub dressing, & pepperoncini peppers. Very simple, very delicious.

[@FoodLovesCompany]

I make it exactly how you do it as well and it’s awesome! Mortadella is the best!

[@Bgz8890s]

@@FoodLovesCompany Yes, I'm fortunate enough to have an old school Italian grocery store near by, they carry a lot of good imports and even make some things from scratch. Mortadella is one of those things that I'm glad isn't as popular in the US, because it means for for me lol!

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@Bgz8890s if they have bomba sauce (the real stuff) I have a few recipes I use it in. It’s awesome!!
