| Panino with smoked turkey swiss cheese fresh arugula and grape tomatoes |
Let's begin by saying that there are no
laws but only golden rules. A golden rule is always to use the principles of
common sense and good taste. The perfect match is what you like. I don't want
to give you the recipe for the absolute panino, but I’ll try to explain what
makes a panino successful.
·
Buy the bread the
same day from a bakery ant not wrapped in plastic on a shelf.
·
Be sure the bread
is fresh by squeezing it; it should bounce back at the touch.
·
Before you begin
assembling the panino, taste the bread determine what ingredients will taste good
and fit in nicely in that bread.
·
Decide who the
star of the panino is going to be before buying ingredients. Is the star the bread? The filling? The olive
oil? The condiments? The entire panino?
·
Use only good
quality cold cuts that have been just sliced that day, no cold cuts in plastic
covers for our panini.
·
Use good quality, ripe, and fresh vegetables such as
tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, arugula, spring onions, caramelized onions, etc.
·
Make your own dressing with a good quality olive oil.
·
Experiment by using other types of dressing such as freshly
made hummus, balsamic and olive oil dressing, garlic and saffron mayo, a light
pesto, lemon and garlic, and more. Stay away from dressing in jars or bottles.
·
Make sure that you have enough ingredients that compliment
the bread, but not so much that you cannot balance and eat with 2 hands.
· Make mini sandwiches using various ingredients to test until you
achieve what you love best.
·
Once you have achieved success, have a panini party and
invite your favorite people. Pair it
with a good beer or wine.
