Paninis are a great idea for any sort of casual lunch. These sandwiches can be wrapped and transported to your favorite picnic spot, or they can simply make a great Saturday afternoon snack. The best thing about a panini is that it is not hard to make. All you need is a panini grill, and a bit of imagination.
To start, make sure you have some sort of sandwich press, or panini grill (they can be found in nearly any kitchen store). The next thing that you will want to do is to gather an array of ingredients. Some great panini additions include, marinated peppers; tasty olives; artichoke hearts; mozzarella cheese (sliced); buffalo mozzarella cheese; fresh spices (leaves); sun dried tomatoes; capicolla ham; regular ham – the list just goes on and on. However, the most important part of any panini is the bread.
Whatever you do, never buy store bought loaf bread in order to make a panini sandwich. This type of bread is best reserved for peanut butter and jelly, and it have nothing to do with making a panini great. Instead, head to your local baker and pick up some ciabatta bread, or a tasty baguette. The rest is simple, merely line your bread with your chosen ingredients (mayonnaise and other condiments do not really work well here!), and grill away. Within minutes you will have some great panini sandwiches. This is a great dinnertime activity to do with kids, and you may want to think about lining up numerous ingredients for your kids to choose from. The next time you have a hankering for a sandwich, think about paninis instead.
