Ingredients
1.5 lbs. mushrooms, cleaned and thinly sliced
4 tbsp. olive oil, divided
1 tsp. black pepper
Salt to taste
1 minced garlic clove or 2 tbsp. garlic olive oil
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
Splash of balsamic vinegar
1 onion thinly sliced
1 bell pepper sliced

Jus
2 cups mushroom stock (store bought or homemade)
2 tbsp. Italian seasoning
2 tbsp. olive oil (we like garlic infused olive oil)

To serve
Provolone cheese, rolls, giardiniera for serving

Sauté onions and peppers in 1 tbsp. of olive oil until soft. Season with salt and set aside. In the same pan add mushrooms, sear until juice is released and evaporated. When dry, deglaze with balsamic vinegar. Remove from pan and set aside. In the same pan combine all jus ingredients, bring to a boil and simmer until the sauce is reduced. Add the mushrooms and simmer for 5 minutes. Assemble sandwiches by placing provolone slices on bottom half of bread, top with mushrooms, sautéed peppers and onions, and pour a little juice on top half of bread. Top with giardiniera.

Watch the Emmys Sunday at 7 p.m. on ABC7 Chicago.
