I was at A&S Pork Store earlier this week and noticed one of the counter guys constructing one of the most beautiful and unique Italian combo sandwiches I had ever seen.
It consisted of:
- Hot Soprassata
- Cracked Pepper Turkey
- Hot Cherry Peppers
- Mozzarella
- Shredded Lettuce
- Oil and Vinegar (just a pinch)
- Pepper
I decided to try one for lunch on Friday and it was one of the better sandwiches I've had in recent memory. It had the flavor of the traditional Italian combo b/c of the soprassata, oil/vinegar and peppers, yet it wasn't overly saturated with sodium so as to dehydrate you. It also wasn't as HEAVY b/c of the inclusion of turkey as opposed to other cured pork-based meats.
One piece of advice if you're going to order one of these: make sure to have an ice cold drink nearby as the combination of the cracked pepper turkey, hot soprassata and cherry peppers made this "fra diavolo".
