Bocadillo de mortadela

Bocadillo de mortadela is a sandwich made with Spanish bread and slices of mortadella. To make the sandwich, a type of Spanish-style baguette (barra de pan) is typically cut in half and layered with thin slices of raw or fried mortadella (with peppercorns, olives, or truffles). The bread is often moistened by rubbing the inside with tomato halves and olive oil. Other types of bread may also be used instead of a baguette such as a llonguet bread roll or a ciabatta, among others. Apart from the mortadella, other typical ingredients featured in the sandwich include slices of cheese, tomatoes, and strips of roasted or pickled peppers. This simple sandwich is typically washed down with beer, and it can be accompanied by a side of chips or a salad.
