Instruction
- Whisk together the oil, vinegar and mustard. Add herbs and pepper and mix. Pour over tomatoes, basil and mozzarella and set aside.
- Prepare charcoal grill for medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in olive oil in small iron skillet on heated grill. Add wine, and reduce for a couple of minutes. Set aside.
- Process salami, proscuitto, Parmesan and parsley in food processor just until coarsely ground.
- Add onion mixture and salami mixture to ground veal. Add eggs and mix gently with hands to combine. Form into 12 patties, handling as little as possible.
- Cook on medium grill (which has been brushed with olive oil) for 3 minutes on each side, turning only once (or cook to your desired doneness). Remove from heat, place a slice of mozzarella on each patty, tent with foil and let rest while grilling bread. Butter cut sides of bread and grill, buttered side down until toasted.
- Remove tomatoes and basil from dressing. Place a slice of tomato and 2 basil leaves on top of cheese. Cover with top piece of flat bread…buon appettito!
