Grilled Albacore Sandwich
OK, from the title of the recipe, it doesn’t sound like much, but what if I called it, “Grilled Fresh Albacore, Sweet Onion and Pepper Sandwich with Melted Fontina Cheese, Shredded Lettuce and Garlic Mayonnaise”? Sound better? Good! This recipe begs for a really cold beer.
