Ingredients

  • 4 slices Villaggio® Classico Italian Style Thick Slice White Bread
  • 1 lb (500 g) veal scallopini
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) olive oil
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) red wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) freshly ground pepper
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 cup (250 mL) arugula

Directions

Sandwich:

  1. Preheat grill to medium heat; grease grate well.
  2. Toss veal with 2 tbsp (30 mL) oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper.
  3. Grill for 1 or 2 minutes per side or until grill-marked and just cooked through.
  4. Top each slice of bread with 1 slice of provolone and grilled veal.
  5. Grill sandwiches for 1 minute or until bread is grill-marked on the bottom.
  6. Turn off the heat on one side of the grill.
  7. Place sandwiches on the side with no heat; close the lid and cook over indirect heat until cheese melts.
  8. Top sandwiches with arugula and drizzle with remaining oil.

Tip: When tossing veal with oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper, add 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh basil, 1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried oregano or 1/4 tsp (1 mL) crushed fennel seeds if desired.
Use leftover veal cutlets or prepared veal cutlets for an even easier-to-make sandwich.
Spread sun-dried tomato pesto over slices of bread before layering cheese and veal overtop if desired.
