Italian Sausage Hoagies

Instructions

1. This recipe originated on Giada Entertains. Episode: TV Dinner.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Calabrian chili paste, lemon zest and salt. Set aside.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil and the sausages and begin to cook, breaking the sausage into large pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook for 15 minutes or until the sausage is golden brown, cooked through and crispy in parts. Drain off excess fat if necessary.
4. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine the basil, arugula, cider vinegar, and salt. Toss well to coat.
5. Split the rolls in half horizontally leaving one side intact. Open the rolls like a book and remove and discard some of the inside of the bread. Spread 1/3 cup of the spicy mayonnaise evenly on each roll. Fill the bottom half of each roll with the crispy sausage mixture. Fill the top half of each roll with 3/4 cup of the giardiniera. Divide the dressed arugula on the two sandwiches and close them pressing gently on the top. Cut each sandwich in half and serve.
