Bondiola Sandwich[edit | edit source]

The Bondiola Sandwich is a popular Argentine dish that consists of a flavorful pork cut called "bondiola" served between two slices of bread. This sandwich is a staple in Argentine cuisine and is enjoyed by locals and tourists alike.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

To make a delicious Bondiola Sandwich, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 pound of bondiola (pork shoulder)
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices of bread
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Tomato slices
  • Mayonnaise

Preparation[edit | edit source]

1. Start by marinating the bondiola. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

2. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated bondiola on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

3. While the bondiola is resting, toast the slices of bread until golden brown.

4. Slice the cooked bondiola into thin strips.

5. Assemble the sandwich by spreading mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. Place a layer of lettuce leaves on one slice, followed by the sliced bondiola and tomato slices. Top with the other slice of bread.

6. Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately.

Variations[edit | edit source]

The Bondiola Sandwich can be customized to suit individual preferences. Some popular variations include:

  • Adding sliced avocado or pickles for extra flavor.
  • Using different types of bread, such as ciabatta or baguette, for a unique twist.
  • Adding chimichurri sauce, a traditional Argentine condiment, for an extra kick of flavor.
