Meatball sandwich
Meatball sandwich is a popular type of sandwich that consists of meatballs, typically served with some form of sauce, and often melted cheese, within a type of bread. Originating from Italian cuisine, the meatball sandwich has become a staple in various cuisines around the world, including American cuisine and Australian cuisine.
History[edit | edit source]
The meatball sandwich is believed to have originated from Italian immigrants in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The sandwich was a convenient way for workers to consume their traditional Italian meatballs and tomato sauce during their lunch breaks. Over time, the meatball sandwich has evolved and diversified, with various regions and cultures adding their own unique twists to the classic recipe.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The preparation of a meatball sandwich involves several steps. First, the meatballs are prepared, typically from a mixture of ground meat, breadcrumbs, eggs, and spices. These are then cooked, often by baking or frying. The meatballs are then placed on a bread roll or baguette, and covered with a sauce, often a tomato sauce or marinara sauce. Finally, cheese such as mozzarella or provolone is often added, and the sandwich is heated until the cheese is melted.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are many variations of the meatball sandwich. In the United States, for example, the submarine sandwich version is popular, where the meatballs and sauce are served in a long roll, often with additional ingredients such as onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. In Australia, the meatball sandwich is often served as a burger, with the meatballs flattened into a patty shape.
