Ingredients
- 4 crusty bread rolls
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ medium onion
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 4 salami slices
Instructions
- 1
Finely chop the 1/2 medium onion and 2 tbsp fresh parsley. In a bowl, combine the 1 lb ground pork, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, chopped onion, and parsley. Mix until just combined.
- 2
Cover the pork mixture and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. This step is essential for food safety and taste.

Slice the 4 crusty bread rolls in half horizontally. If desired, lightly toast the cut sides in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes.
- 4
Spread the chilled pork mixture evenly onto the cut sides of the bread rolls, about 1/4 inch thick. Use a fork to create a rough, textured surface.

Top each sandwich with 1 salami slice. Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours, as this contains raw meat.
