The Perfect Bresaola Tonnato Sandwich with Escarole Recipe (VIDEO)

Add this sandwich to your go-to list of hearty open-faced sandwiches. Joining the ranks of the Tuna Melt, the Tartine and Smorrebrod (Denmark’s not-to-be-missed entry to the category), this beauty is so distinctively satisfying, you’ll forget you’re using a knife and fork. Pairing bresaola, (savory, salted, cured beef) with tonnato sauce is a modern-day twist on the Italian classic “vitello tonnato,” in which a tuna sauce is served over room temperature roasted veal. We top it with a spicy escarole salad dressed with lemon and hot chiles. This sandwich is so exceptional, it just might tide us over until the tomatoes come back again in summer.
