Categories     Main Course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup chopped pitted pimiento stuffed green olives
1/2 cup chopped pitted Kalamata olives
2 tablespoons capers
1/2 cup chopped roasted red bell peppers
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped celery leaves
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
Black pepper
8 slices Italian bread
4 tablespoons softened butter
16 3/4 ounce slices Italian Blend cheese
1/3 lb sliced mortadella
1/3 lb sliced genoa salami
1/3 lb sliced deli ham

Steps:

  • To make the olive salad, combine all the ingredients in a bowl. If possible, let the mixture sit for at least 2 hours so the flavors can meld together.
  • To make the panini, preheat a panini press on medium high heat.
  • Spread the outer edges of the Italian sandwich bread with the softened butter, then spread a spoonful of the olive salad on the inside of each piece of bread. Place two slices of cheese on top of the olive salad on each piece of bread. Then layer on a couple slices of mortadella, genoa salami, and deli ham. Close the sandwich and place on the panini press.
  • Press the lid of the panini maker down firmly, and cook the sandwich for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Serve and enjoy!

PRESSED CHEESE SANDWICHES



Pressed Cheese Sandwiches image

Categories     main-dish

Time P1DT20m

Yield 32 small sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon aleppo pepper
2 cloves garlic, peeled and pressed
8 large slices sourdough rye bread
16 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 16 slices
Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh rosemary
Pickled Scallions, recipe follows
8 scallions, root ends trimmed
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Splash extra-virgin olive oil, about 1 tablespoon

Steps:

  • I think simple recipes are the best way to start out the meal. Melted cheese, in any form, is something that everyone loves. I find these sandwiches only make people want to eat more afterwards!
  • In a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the pressed garlic. Stir to blend.
  • Put 4 slices of the bread on a flat surface. Dry any moisture off the mozzarella cheese and put 4 slices on 4 pieces of bread. Sprinkle with aleppo pepper and drizzle with the garlic and oil mixture. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper, to taste. "Flake" the thyme off the stems and onto the cheese. Do the same with the rosemary, but more sparingly.
  • Cover the cheese with the remaining 4 slices of bread and cut each sandwich in half and in half again, to make 4 individual pieces. Arrange them in a single layer on a small baking sheet or large plate and cover them with baking sheet or plate to weigh them down. Refrigerate the sandwiches overnight. This will make them flatter and better integrate the flavors.
  • The next day, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over low heat. When the olive oil begins to smoke lightly, add the sandwiches and cook them on 1 side until brown. Turn and cook until brown on the other side. Cook in batches, if necessary. Transfer to a serving platter and season with salt. Top with the pickled scallions and serve immediately.
  • The acidity of the vinegar and the oniony "bite" of the scallion make this a brightening element for my cheese sandwiches. I avoid salt and pepper to keep the focus on the acidity of the scallion.
  • Put the scallions on a cutting board and, using a sharp knife, slice them into thin rounds from the white part all the way through the green part.
  • Add the scallions to a small bowl with the red wine vinegar and the olive oil. Toss to combine and set aside for 1 to 2 hours to allow the vinegar to work its magic. The scallions can be covered and refrigerated overnight, if desired.
