Ingredient substitutions

Ciabatta roll

  • Rosetta roll: Rosetta is a traditional Italian roll and gives a lighter bite.

Crackling

  • Porchetta roast pork: Use extra edge slices with browned skin if separate crackling is unavailable.

Salsa verde

  • Olive oil: Use only when salsa verde is not available, for moisture rather than the same herbal brightness.
