Mediterranean Market Sandwich
Transport your lunch or dinner to the Mediterranean with this bold, market-inspired sandwich. Built on crusty sourdough or ciabatta, the star of the show is thick-sliced lamb pastrami, steamed until tender and aromatic. Itโs layered with a vibrant, sunset-orange harissa mayo that packs a punch of garlic, lemon, and a hint of honey. Topped with cool cucumber rounds, pickled red onions, peppery wild arugula, and a generous crumble of salty feta, this build offers a perfect balance of smoky heat, bright acidity, and refreshing crunch.

Ingredients
Harissa Mayo
Instructions
-
In a small glass bowl, combine the mayo and harissa paste.
-
Using a small whisk or spoon, fold them together until the streaks disappear and the sauce turns a consistent, vibrant sunset-orange.
-
Crush the garlic directly into the bowl, add the lemon juice, honey, and cumin, and whisk again until smooth.
-
Slice your sourdough or ciabatta roll and apply a thick, cooling layer of harissa mayo or lemon-garlic yogurt to both the top and bottom interior surfaces.
-
Lay a vibrant bed of fresh arugula on the bottom bun to provide a peppery base.
-
Place 2โ3 thick-sliced slabs of lamb pastrami into a pan with a teaspoon of water and coverโsteam them just until tender and aromatic, then lay them directly over the greens.
-
Arrange English cucumber slices and pickled red onions over the meat in an alternating pattern for maximum color contrast.
-
Finish the build with a generous crumble of feta cheese to the slice/top, pressing it lightly into the topโs sauce so it stays in place when the sandwich is sliced and showcased.
