Title: Grilled Italian Hero Sandwich
Categories: Breads, Cheese, Pork, Wine
Yield: 2 Servings
2 (6") baguettes
1/4 c Extra-virgin olive oil
1 tb Red wine
1 c Arugula; washed, dried
1/4 c Thin sliced peperoncini
2 sl (2 oz) mortadella
4 sl (2 oz) prosciutto
6 sl (2 oz) hot soppressata
4 sl (4 oz) provolone cheese
This recipe does wonders for the familiar meaty hero
sandwich just by pressing and grilling it. Warmed up, the
deli ingredients just taste better. Of course, starting with
the best-quality mortadellia, prosciutto, and provolone
(look for versions imported from Italy) will also improve
the quality of the sandwich. Use a thick, hearty baguette or
Italian loaf to hold the generous fillings and don't skip
the peperoncini and peppery arugula, which cut the richness
of the meats and cheese.
Heat a panini or sandwich press according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Slice the baguette pieces in half lengthwise with a serrated
knife. Brush the insides with the oil and vinegar. Lay the
bread, cut sides up, on a work surface. Arrange the arugula
and then the peppers on the bottom halves. Drape the
mortadella, prosciutto, and soppressata on top of the
vegetables. Top with the provolone. Top each sandwich with
the top half of each baguette.
Put the sandwiches on the press, pull the top down, and cook
until they are browned and crisp and the cheese is melted, 5
to 7 minutes, depending on how hot your machine is.
Carefully remove from the press and serve immediately.
