Hot Capicola is a well-seasoned, slightly spicy roasted ham deli meat. It pairs really well with the Arugula Rocket I chose for this sandwich. With fresh sliced tomato, onion, cheese, and a little olive oil mayo - this sandwich puts your taste buds in flight(: I hope you enjoy this combination as much as I did. Southern Food With Flare

How To Make the "rocket man" sammie

  • 1
    Spread olive oil mayo on bread. I chose Miracle Whip for the sweet and tangy flavor it adds to the sandwich. It's a nice contrast to the spice.
  • 2
    Top two slices of bread with about 4 slices of capicola. I like to fold them over slightly as shown.
  • 3
    Top with sliced onion, cheese, arugula, and tomato. Salt and pepper tomato if desired.
  • 4
    Top with other slice of bread and enjoy!
