Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped or 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (2-inch thick) slice bologna, cut into 1/2-inch chunks (about 8 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup onions, chopped
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 4 slices white Pullman bread, toasted

Method

  • For the chipotle-mayonnaise spread: Combine the mayonnaise and chipotle pepper in a bowl, and blend until smooth.
  • Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • For the bologna: In a large pan on medium-high heat add the oil.
  • Add the bologna chunks to the hot oil.
  • Saute while tossing to brown all sides, about 8 minutes.
  • Add the onions and season lightly with salt and a few grinds of pepper.
  • Continue to toss while cooking until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes more.
  • Stir in the mustard, and honey to coat, and then add the wine.
  • Simmer while tossing until the wine bubbles and foams and is reduced to only a bit of sauce in the pan.
  • To assemble the sandwiches, slather chipotle mayonnaise on each slice of toasted bread and top equally with the bologna.
  • To serve as a smaller bite, cut the toasted bread into 1/4ths and continue to top as directed.
