Ingredients
1 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 bay leaf
1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced
1 pound summer sausage, sliced 1/8-inch thick
8 slices Havarti, halved
8 slider buns, such as Martin's potato rolls
Butter, softened, for spreading
1/4 head iceberg lettuce
Sriracha Lime Mayo, recipe follows
Sriracha Lime Mayo:
1 cup Japanese mayonnaise
1/4 cup Sriracha or sambal oelek
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lime juice (from about 1/2 lime)
Directions
- In a small pot, bring the vinegar, honey, salt, bay leaf and 1/2 cup water to a simmer. Turn off the heat, transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the fennel. Let come to room temperature, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the summer sausage until crisp, 5 minutes. Flip the sausage, and make stacks of 3 to 4 slices on the grill. Top each stack with a couple of pieces of cheese, cover the grill and let cook until melted. Remove from the heat and drain on paper towels.
- Spread the slider buns with butter and grill until lightly toasted. Place some pickled fennel on the bottom piece of a slider bun. Top with a stack of the cheese-grilled summer sausage, a crisp piece of lettuce and a dollop of Sriracha Lime Mayo. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. The sweet and sour balance takes it to another level.
Sriracha Lime Mayo:
- Mix together the mayonnaise, Sriracha, honey and lime juice in a small bowl.
