Mushroom and Ham Po'Boy


Ingredients:

3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 cup Peppadew peppers, halved, plus 1 tablespoon brine from the jar
1 tablespoon Creole or whole-grain mustard
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 hero rolls, split and partially hollowed out
Pure olive oil or a blend of extra-virgin olive oil and vegetable oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups instant flour (such as Wondra)
4 large eggs
2 medium red onions, very thinly sliced
10 ounces cremini mushrooms, quartered
1/2 pound sliced ham or capicola

Directions:

Whisk the mayonnaise, pepper brine, mustard, rosemary and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Spread evenly on the cut sides of the rolls.

Heat 1 1/2 inches olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Whisk the flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs and 2 tablespoons water in another bowl.

Toss the onions in the flour, then fry in the hot oil until crisp, about 1 minute. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet to drain.

Toss the mushrooms in the flour, dip in the egg mixture and toss again in the flour; fry in batches until golden, about 2 minutes. Drain on the baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Fill the rolls with the ham, Peppadew peppers, and fried onions and mushrooms.
