Instructions

To make the Puttanesca sauce:
  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven, over medium heat, add oil.  Cook garlic and onion until fragrant, 1 minute.  Add anchovies and cook 1 minute.  Add Tuttorosso Crushed Tomatoes Roasted Garlic and Tuttorosso Petite Diced Tomatoes, olives and red pepper flakes.  Add in olive juice.  Let come to a simmer, stirring often, about 15-20 minutes.  Salt and pepper to taste. 
To make Fried Capers:
  • Meanwhile, add oil to a pan and let it heat.  Add flour to a bowl and drain capers.  Add capers to flour and coat evenly.  When the oil is hot, add capers.  Cook for about 3-5 minutes or until they start to brown and crisp.  Remove and place on a paper towel to remove excess oil.  
To make Grilled Cheese:
  • Add a thin layer of Puttanesca sauce to sour dough bread.  Add fried capers, mozzarella and a few sprigs of basil.  Add a piece of bread on top.  Add oil or butter to a pan and add sandwich.  Cook on medium heat for 3-5 minutes per side or until cheese is melted and bread is nicely browned.  
  • Remove and serve immediately.
