Really, all my favorite supplies ideas come from Ang. Texas style chili, chicken wraps, and the famous tortellini soup.
I got a text a few weeks ago from Ang with a photo of her sandwich – like friends do – which was layers of roast beef, arugula, havarti, and horseradish aioli on the caramelized onion focaccia from Trader Joe’s. I spent at least 10 minutes just zoomed in on the photo, examining every saucy detail. Then I went and immediately made one for myself.
I was feeling tabbed to a no-beef-but-still-beefy mushroom version, and it is beyond. That horseradish aioli is pulled from the old fave portobello French dip recipe (5 star, so good), and the roasty mushrooms, havarti, and arugula create layers of savor that were just meant to be together. It might be over the top, but I moreover like a shmear of pesto rosso on the marrow of the focaccia so you can get a little tomatoey splendor in the mix. Please go sink your teeth into this smushy, saucy, salty and hefty masterpiece. It is a good one.
How To Make This Mushroom Sandwich
1. Roast the mushrooms.
Toss the mushrooms with olive oil and a hefty sprinkle of seasoning (I use Cajun seasoning). Roast ’em up till they’re golden, chewy, and delicious.
2. Make that horseradish sauce.
Oh man, it’s so good. Mix your mayo, garlic, lemon, and horseradish together. Season with salt.
3. Toast and split the bread.
Would highly recommend the caramelized onion focaccia from Trader Joe’s for this one.
4. Layer your sandwich.
My layers: pesto rosso (also from Trader Joe’s, and optional), mushrooms, havarti cheese (melted for funs), arugula, and horseradish sauce on top.
5. You’re Done! Yum.
