Native American-style Andalusian Vienna

Ingredients

In this Native American adaptation of the Andalusian Vienna, the traditional bread crumbs used for coating are replaced with cornmeal, a staple ingredient in Native American cuisine. This substitution adds a unique texture and flavor to the dish, infusing it with a touch of Native American heritage. Additionally, the cooking technique may vary slightly to accommodate the cornmeal coating, ensuring a crispy and golden crust.
