2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 shallots, diced
3 large mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 to 2 jalapenos, chopped with seeds
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 cup chicken stock
3/4 cup half-and-half or heavy cream
1/2 bunch cilantro, stems and leaves separated
2 egg yolks
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 cups cooked rice, for serving
4 grilled scallions, for serving
Pickled Tomato Salsa, recipe follows, for serving
1 pound tomatoes, diced
1/2 bunch scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
2 to 3 serrano chiles, with seeds, thinly sliced in rounds
1/2 cup white vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
2 teaspoons cracked black peppercorns
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Season chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add oil, and place chicken in pan skin side down. Sear for 4 minutes, then reduce heat to medium and continue cooking for another 8 minutes. Turn chicken and cook another 4 minutes, or until just cooked all the way through.
  • Meanwhile, make sauce by melting butter in a medium saute pan over moderate heat. Cook shallots and mushrooms until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. Add jalapenos and cumin, lower heat, and cook for 5 minutes. Add chicken stock. Turn heat to high and cook until liquid is reduced by half. Add cream or half-and-half and cilantro stems and return to a boil. Remove from heat. Puree in a blender, pass through a wire mesh strainer, and return to heat.
  • Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and vinegar together in a small bowl. While continuing to whisk, pour one cup pureed cilantro sauce into egg mixture to temper. Then combine egg mixture with puree and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until sauce is thick and smooth.
  • Arrange grilled chicken over a bed of your favorite rice and spoon sauce over all. Garnish with cilantro leaves, grilled scallions, and Pickled Tomato Salsa. Serve immediately.
  • In a large bowl, toss tomatoes with scallions and serrano chiles.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring vinegar to a boil. Add sugar and salt, and cook until dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and reserve. Measure ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, cracked peppercorns, cumin, cayenne, and turmeric onto a plate and place near stove. In another medium saucepan, heat oil over moderate heat until just smoking. Add spices and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until aromas are released, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar mixture. Immediately pour over reserved tomato mixture. Stir to combine, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 3 to 4 hours or several days. Makes 2 cups.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread that can hold up to the grilled vegetables and sauce is best. Try a thick-sliced sourdough, ciabatta, or focaccia.
  • Slice the vegetables evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. If the vegetables are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not get as tender.
  • Grill the vegetables over medium heat: This will help them to cook through without burning. If the heat is too high, the vegetables may cook too quickly on the outside and remain raw on the inside.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: If you overcrowd the grill, the vegetables will not cook evenly. Leave some space between each vegetable so that they can cook properly.
  • Season the vegetables generously: With salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Make the salsa ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can make the salsa up to 2 days in advance.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately: With a generous dollop of salsa. The sandwiches are best when they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

These portobello and zucchini sandwiches are a delicious and healthy vegetarian option that are perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. The grilled vegetables are tender and flavorful, and the tomato salsa adds a refreshing pop of flavor. With a few simple tips, you can make these sandwiches at home that are just as good as the ones from your favorite restaurant.
