What Zane eats sandwich recipe Photo by Roberto Caruso
Deli hotshot Zane Caplansky mans the window of his super-popular roadside attraction, the Thunderin' Thelma food truck.
Ingredients
1 1/3 cups olive oil, or schmaltz (rendered chicken fat)
1 1/2 cups sliced onions
450 g chicken or beef liver, outer skin and veins removed
1/4 tsp salt
1 hard-boiled egg, peeled
Instructions
HEAT a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Add 2 tbsp oil, then sliced onions. Cook until starting to soften, about 3 min. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir occasionally until brown, 15 to 20 more min. Transfer to a small bowl.
ADD remaining 1/4 cup oil to pan and increase heat to medium. Season liver with salt and pepper and cook until still slightly pink in the centre, 2 to 3 min. Transfer to a food processor along with egg. Pulse until combined but still chunky. Scrape into a bowl and stir in reserved onions.
WIPE same frying pan with paper towel and return to heat over medium. Add salami and cook until warm, 1 min per side. Generously spread 4 slices of rye with chopped liver. Top each with 2 slices salami, then some red onion rounds. Drizzle with mustard. Sandwich with remaining bread and serve with pickles on the side.
