Instructions:

5. Grill the Sourdough: Brush the sourdough slices with olive oil and grill for 1-2 minutes per side or until they have nice grill marks.
6. Assemble the Sandwich: Place a grilled sourdough slice on each plate. Top with a grilled pork belly slice, followed by a layer of blanched broccoli rabe and pickled peppers. Drizzle the salsa verde over the top, and finish with a generous sprinkle of raclette cheese.
7. Melt the Cheese: Place the assembled sandwiches back on the grill for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
