Ingredients

Tomato Jam:

Sandwich:

Directions

  1. For the tomato jam: In a large saucepan, sauté the yellow onions in a splash of olive oil over medium-low heat until translucent, about 30 minutes.
  2. Add the diced tomatoes, brown sugar, Calabrian chile paste, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency, about 45 minutes. Remove it from the heat and let it cool.
  3. For the sandwich: Season the veal cutlets with salt and pepper. Put the flour in a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs in a second shallow bowl and put the breadcrumbs in a third. Dredge each cutlet in the flour first, then in the beaten egg, and then coat with the breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the cutlets until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Slice and toast your chosen bread. Top the bottom halves of the bread with the arugula and a squeeze of lemon. Place a crispy veal cutlet on top of each portion of arugula. Place a generous portion of burrata on each cutlet. Top with the chili oil, spicy tomato jam and the top halves of the bread. Cut each sandwich in half and enjoy!
