Italian Party Panini
If you find yourself in an Italian deli, treat yourself to some hot capicola and mortadella instead of the turkey and ham.
Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 405kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 small red onion thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Pinch red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 4 ciabatta rolls or 1 crusty baguette
- 8 large slices hard salami
- 8 slices of deli ham
- 8 slices deli smoked turkey
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 4 slices fresh mozzarella or deli sliced if you can’t find fresh
- 6 pepperoncinis sliced
- 1 large roasted bell pepper jarred
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the first 10 ingredients (through the salt and pepper). Set aside for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Halve the bread lengthwise and layer the meats and cheeses on the bottom slice. Top with the pepperoncini and the roasted pepper. Drain the pickled veggies, reserving the liquid, and top each sandwich with a spoonful of the veggies. Put the top of the sandwich on and tightly wrap each sandwich with foil. Place in the oven for 10 minutes or until the sandwich is hot. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat, and while pressing down firmly, brown each sandwich on both sides. Slice on the diagonal and serve with the reserved vinaigrette on the side for dipping.
