I was just about done with my porchetta roast but I made sure to save some to try one last sandwich, inspired be a readers comment describing a porchetta sandwich with caramelized onions and arugula. After a quick search of the web I found a few variations of sandwiches with those ingredients and after picking and choosing ingredients I ended up with one that sounded excellent. This sandwich combines the moist and juicy porchetta with the sweet and tangy balsamic onion marmalade that I had just made with tasty melted asiago cheese, peppery arugula and hit of grainy mustard. Although the previous sandwiches had been beautiful in their simplicity, this sandwich was definitely a winner with its more complex flavour combinations that were definitely amazing. What a great way to finish off the last of the porchetta!

What an absolutely delicious looking sandwich! And that's coming from a girl who doesn't normally eat sandwiches!
I love these ingredients…will definitely have to try this soon!
That isn't a sandwich, that's a manwich. A sandwich of manly proportions. Epic. Have you finished all your porchetta now? I'd be grieving.
This is incredible. I've never had porchetta, but have always been curious. I may have to try this. Thanks!
ooh, I want this! with a cup of tomato soup. YUM.
I love everything about this.
