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. 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. 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.

  3. 3

    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. 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.

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

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