A chicken cutlet, meatballs and sauce, then a second cutlet on top — the sandwich uses no bread at all. The cutlets are breaded and fried in about ten minutes.
The meatballs are the three-hour part, so they are worth making the day before. Stir them gently every half hour while they simmer; they are soft in the sauce and a rough spoon turns them into bolognese.
