Name: Mortadella Sandwiches with Pistachio Mayonnaise
Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 4 serving(s)
Ingredients: 1 egg; 3 tbsp unsalted shelled pistachios, coarsely chopped; 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice; 1 small garlic clove, halved; 1/2 cup (125 ml) olive oil; 4 panini buns, each 6 inches (15 cm) long; 8 leaves curly-leaf or Boston lettuce; 1 large tomato, sliced into 8 halfmoons; 8 slices mild provolone cheese; 2 packages (175 g each) sliced mortadella; 12 green olives stuffed with lemon, sliced; Basil leaves, to taste

Preparation

Mayonnaise
- In the tall, narrow container of a hand blender, combine the egg, pistachios, lemon juice and garlic. Using a hand blender, purée the ingredients until smooth. With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the oil. The emulsion will begin to form a mayonnaise in less than 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. The mayonnaise will keep for 1 week in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Assembly
- On a work surface, cut the buns in half horizontally without going all the way through to the other side. Open them like a book and cover with the pistachio mayonnaise. Layer in the lettuce, tomato, cheese, mortadella and olives. Top with basil leaves. Cut in half, if desired.
