Fried Salami & Mozzarella Focaccia
Here, I’ve taken my overnight focaccia & filled it with fried fennel salami, rocket, tomato, mozzarella & a sriracha & honey mayo.
Servings: 6 People
Equipment
- Large Frying Pan
Ingredients
Sriracha Mayo
- 100 g Mayonnaise
- 30 g Sriracha
- 30 g Tomato Ketchup
- 1 tsp Honey
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- ¼ tsp Smoked Paprika
The Sandwich
- 1 Loaf Overnight Focaccia
- 3 Large, Ripe Tomatoes
- 3 Balls Mozarella Drained
- 24 Slices Salami
- 60 g Rocket Washed
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
Instructions
- Sriracha Mayo.In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sriracha, ketchup, honey, paprika & lemon juice. Season with salt to taste then set aside.
- The Sandwich.Take the loaf of focaccia & cut into 6 even pieces. Cut each piece in half horizontally.
- Next, heat a large frying pan over a medium heat, add a drizzle of vegetable oil then fry each slice of salami for 1 minute on each side - You’ll need to do this in batches.
- Once all the salami has been cooked, lightly toast the inside of each piece of bread in the same pan.Finally, place the rocket into a bowl & drizzle over the olive oil & balsamic vinegar. Mix with your hand so that the rocket is evenly dressed.
- To Assemble Each Sandwich.Take the bottom piece of focaccia & top with a thin layer of sriracha mayo followed by some sliced tomato, a couple of slices of mozzarella, 4 slices of fried salami & a small handful of dressed rocket.Spread a thin layer of mayo onto the other piece of focaccia & place on top of the sandwich.Cut the sandwich in half & serve.

If using an Aga, cook salami & toast the bread using a frying pan on the boiling plate.
This sandwich uses my overnight focaccia recipe, which can be found here.
I used a fennel salami for this sandwich but feel free to use any type.
Be careful not to overcook the salami when frying - it will only take a minute each side.
