pppppanini

So apparently my love for alliteration translates to food as well. :)

This is one of my favorite quick lunches to make. Granted, I’ve never been a big “sandwich” person. (May have been the only kid who grew up not crazy about PB&Js!)  But I have been known to get excited about a nicely-grilled panini. So when I came across this lovely ciabatta roll this week, thought it was a good time to pull out the grill pan and make it happen.

While I tend to just throw in whatever meat, cheese, and fresh veggies (or sometimes fruits) I have onhand, I must say that I love-love-love making paninis with prosciutto! It’s my occasional splurge at the deli, and I dig the salty, mildly sweet flavor it adds.

And…when paired with provolone, pesto, and roasted red peppers, I can almost pretend like I’m enjoying a classic lunch in Tuscany…mmmm….
