Fun Fact About Vegan Mortadella: Mortadella, often called "Italian bologna," has been a staple in Italian cuisine for centuries, particularly in Bologna, the city it originates from. Traditionally made from pork, modern plant-based versions like the one used in this recipe offer the same rich, savory flavor without the meat. Vegan mortadella is a great alternative that captures the essence of the original while keeping the dish plant-based.
