Yield serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 Italian or French rolls (each about 6 inches long), halved horizontally
1/2 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 generous pinch of salt
1 generous pinch of freshly ground black pepper
1 medium tomato, sliced
2/3 cup arugula leaves
1 cooked Pork Milanese cutlet (page 158), warm or cold, cut into thin slices

Steps:

With your fingers, remove and discard some of the soft inner bread from the rolls, creating a shallow well in each. Divide the avocado among all 4 pieces of bread. Using a fork, mash the avocado over the bread.
In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper to blend. Add the tomato and arugula and toss to coat. Divide the arugula mixture between the 2 bottom pieces of bread, add the sliced Pork Milanese, and cover with the top pieces of bread. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve.
