This crusty sandwich only calls for a handful of ingredients—pecorino, parsley, and anchovy—but has big flavors.
Welcome to the Italian city that loves meaty sandwiches, truffles, and drunken spaghetti
Yield: serves 4
Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups Italian parsley leaves (from about 1 bunch), minced
- 6 cloves garlic, minced (2 Tbsp.)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 16 anchovies in oil
- 1⁄4–1⁄2 extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 oz. pecorino cheese, thinly sliced (about 8 slices)
- 4 small crusty sandwich rolls, halved crosswise
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add the parsley, garlic, and a pinch each salt and pepper; stir well. Gently stir in the anchovies and the olive oil, starting with 1⁄4 cup oil and adding more as needed to saturate the parsley (it should be shiny and moist but not runny). Let rest 30 minutes.
- When ready to serve, distribute the sliced pecorino atop the bottom halves of the rolls, followed by the parsley mixture and anchovies. Top with the other halves of the rolls.
