Veal Scaloppine & Roasted Vegetable Sandwiches

Veal Scaloppine & Roasted Vegetable Sandwich - July 8th, 2012

Now here is a sandwich that eats like a meal! Was soooo full afterwards.

Also, as a cautionary warning...this one is messy! Afterwards, you will most likely require a fork to get everything that fell out of the sandwich while eating.

"Scaloppine-style cooking is an extremely flavorful Italian method of preparing meat, which requires very little fat for the initial sear and incorporates plenty of flavor and moisture from the accompanying sauce."

Now this is a fully-loaded sandwich! All of the components work beautifully together and create a masterpiece. You have your veal piled high with roasted veggies and then smothered in a homemade tomato sauce. Adding a light sprinkle of mozzarella is the cherry on top.

I wasn't able to find Ciabatta Rolls at the Superstore together so we went with Focaccia Triangles instead. Not sure if the Ciabatta would have held everything in better or not. I love Focaccia bread anyways, I so didn't mind the swap one bit.

The roasted veggies were a nice change. Green peppers, Eggplant, Portobello Mushrooms, and Red Onions. Probably made our place a few degrees warmer with the oven going but these were so worth it.

The sauce was also extremely easy to prepare. Tomatoes (used diced and then just broke them up in smaller pieces within the pan), garlic, and fresh herbs. Easy is good.

You definitely won't be walking away from this sandwich still hungry. I was originally going to put a dill pickle on the side but after seeing the size of this monster I decided not to. Wouldn't have had room for it anyways.
