Fried Salami With Hot Peppers

INGREDIENTS 1 pound thinly sliced salami 2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced 1 jalapeño, sliced into thin rings kosher salt 4 slices provolone cheese 1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves 4 kaiser rolls, split and toasted INSTRUCTIONS Put a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, add the salami slices and cook until crisp, about 1 minute per side. As the slices are done, remove them to a plate. When all the salami is out of the pan, add the bell and jalapeño peppers along with a good pinch of salt and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Remove the peppers to a plate. Reduce the heat under the pan to medium-low. Divide the salami into 4 equal piles, placing all of the piles in the pan. Top each pile with one-fourth of the bell and jalapeño peppers covered by 1 slice of cheese. Add 2 tablespoons water to the pan, cover with a lid, and allow the cheese to melt for 30 seconds. Remove the lid and sprinkle each pile with one-fourth of the basil. Pile into the rolls and serve.

Cook them for about 2 minutes, making sure to wait until bubbles form and edges are defined before flipping them over. Cook them for one more minute on the other side. Remove them from the hot surface onto a plate and repeat the process with the remaining pancake batter.
