Alton's Inspiration (Roast Broccoli Hero)

I have read the cookbook written by the chef Alton is riffing off of for this recipe, which is called A Super Upsetting Cookbook About Sandwiches, so I knew what I was getting into. The recipe I tried from that cookbook was a broccoli tempura breakfast sandwich that was futzy to make, but delicious. This broccoli hero is futzy to make, but delicious. If I am ever in NYC I need to try the No. 7 Sub Shop and let someone else do the work of making the sandwich.

Roast Broccoli

Grated Cheese & Marinated Pickles

To build this broccoli hero you're going to marinate pickles, roast the broccoli, grate ricotta salata, and then pile the combo onto a roll that went under the broiler. No individual steps are difficult, but it's a lot of effort to put into a small batch of sandwiches. The end result is a gourmet sub that is delicious, but not life-changing.

The Best Kind of Vegetarian Sub

Difficulty Level: Medium
Will It Get Made Again? Maybe... I really like this sandwich, I just rarely want to put this much effort into a sandwich.
