panini

A Cuban sandwich is not much more than a gussied-up ham and cheese toastie. Here three meats are pressed with cheese, pickles, and mustard until toasty and warm.

Cuban Sandwiches Recipe

(60 milliliters) yellow mustard

(170 grams) sliced Swiss cheese

(170 grams) thinly sliced dill pickles

(220 grams) sliced honey ham

(170 grams) leftover Cuban-style roast pork

(115 grams) sliced Genoa salami (optional; see note)

(25 grams) butter

Preheat a panini press or a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lay bread, open side up, on a work surface and spread the bottom and top halves with mustard. Layer bottom and top halves with Swiss cheese. Working only on bottom halves, layer on all of the pickles, ham, roast pork, and salami (if using). Close sandwiches, pressing gently.

Butter top and bottom of panini press and press sandwiches with moderate pressure until crisp on both sides, about 8 minutes. If using a cast iron skillet or griddle, melt half of butter in pan and add sandwiches. Use a second pan to press on them as the first side crisps. When crisp, flip sandwiches, add remaining butter, swirl to coat, and continue cooking while pressing until crisp on both sides, about 10 minutes total. Slice sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately.

These paninis combine salty, spicy salami with roasted pork tenderloin in a way that might remind you of a muffuletta sandwich. 

Roast Pork Panini with Olive Salad

Castelvetrano olives

leftover roasted vegetables,

bread

basil pesto

pork

salami

provolone cheese

Drain a 5-ounce jar Castelvetrano olives.  Place the olives and 1 cup leftover roasted vegetables in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until finely, irregularly chopped.

Use a serrated knife to cut 1 loaf French bread in half horizontally. Spread the bottom half with 1/4 cup pesto. Thinly slice 6 ounces roasted pork tenderloin and lay on top of the pesto. Layer 4 ounces sliced salami and 4 ounces sliced provolone cheese on the pork. Spoon the tapenade on top the cheese and close with the top half of the bread. 

Option 1: Panini press. Preheat a panini press to high. Cut the sandwich crosswise if needed to fit in the panini press. Working in batches if needed, press the sandwich until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the panini press and cut crosswise into smaller sandwiches to serve.

Option 2: Oven pressing. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 400ºF. Place the sandwich on a parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet and brush the top of the bread with a little oil. Cover with a second sheet of parchment and place a second baking sheet on top. Place a heavy oven-safe pan, such as a cast iron skillet, on top of the second baking sheet to weigh it down. Bake until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted, about 10 minutes. Cut crosswise into smaller sandwiches to serve.

Transfer the pork from the baking dish to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing it thin.

In a small bowl combine cucumber, onion, lime juice, oregano, and sugar; set aside.

Slice the ciabatta bread in half horizontally. Spread the mustard on both sides of the ciabatta buns. Top the bottom of the bun with 2 slices of Swiss cheese, slices of pork, quick pickles, another 2 slices of cheese and finally with the other top of the bun.

Cuban Panini with Quick Pickles

A beautiful medley of veggies roasted to perfection combined with flavorful dairy-free pesto and cheese.

Roasted Vegetable Panini with Pesto

bell peppers (I use red & orange)

onion

mushrooms (I use cremini)

asparagus

mozzarella

Vegan pesto

whole grain bread (2 slices per sandwich)

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Slice bell pepper and onion into strips. Cut asparagus into 1-2" pieces. Slice mushrooms.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add vegetables and salt if desired. (You could also add dried herbs such as basil, parsley, oregano, etc.)

Roast for about 25-30 minutes or to desired tenderness, stirring halfway through.

After veggies are roasted, in a skillet over medium heat (or panini press) place a slice of bread. Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella on top.

Then add a generous layer of vegetables. Spread pesto on a second slice of bread and place on top, lightly pressing down.

Heat about 5-8 minutes on each side or until warmed through and cheese is melted.

Yum! I added eggplant to the roasted veggie mix. Going to use the leftover veggies for a roasted veggie/hummus wrap!

The only slight change is we used regular mozzarella. This is an excellent recipe! We now have a another favorite Vegetarian recipe. Highly recommend it. Thank you.

All about mortadella, and how to make the classic Italian mortadella sandwich (panino.)

Mortadella (Sandwich - Panino)

oz thinly sliced mortadella (as many slices as you desire)

ciabatta bread rolls (like Trader Joe's

Slice

Slice the bread rolls in half, horizontally, leaving the top slightly attached.

Fill

Place the slices of mortadella evenly along the roll, but make sure you don&#39;t make them all flat on top of each other. Twist and move the slices so there&#39;s space between the mortadella.

Repeat

Repeat with the second (or subsequent) rolls.

Love how you've shown us how it's done authentically in Italy - and love the pistachios in there! Look forward to your ciabatta rolls recipe too.

I made this sandwich yesterday for myself and fussy husband. It was delicious and he was pleasantly surprised!  We had another one for lunch today.  Will definitely, keep this on our list of lunch time eats!
