We all love different sandwiches, burgers and other breads-meat dishes. Each kitchen has its own, different ingredients, methods of preparation and taste, perhaps. In Italy, the absolute favorite is Panini-a closed sandwich with filling. The variety of Panini depends on what is in the refrigerator and on your imagination. It can be closed sandwiches with several fillings (ham, sun-dried tomatoes, cheese), with pates, with sauces (cheese or pesto).
Ingredients:
Bread - 2 baguettes
Tomato — 1 pc.
Lettuce-5-6 leaves
Chorizo-100 gr.
Marinated peppers-1 pc.
Mozzarella cheese — 200 gr.
Make a basic Panini, the so-called BLT sandwich (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato).
You can take any meat ingredient-bacon, ham, sausage, but even fried meat or a cutlet. I chose chorizo (spicy pork sausage with paprika, which has a characteristic taste and color). As bread is best to use ciabatta or similar white bread. The most important secret of a good Panini is to spread olive oil on pieces of bread on both sides (the internal will give juiciness to the filling, and the external will be very well baked).
All the ingredients are cut as on a regular sandwich-thin slices of 0.3-0.5 cm. the location of the layers also choose any. I made cheese, tomato, lettuce, chorizo, pickled peppers. If you like a lot of cheese-put two layers. Here is a good soft cheese, which will melt and stretch of mozzarella, cheddar.

It remains to bake Panini. For this ideal a grill pan, there is even a special Panini press (the device similar to a waffle iron, but with the grill bars), or even a simple frying pan. So cheese is better melted and combined the ingredients together — Panini is better to pin down a bit. To do this, put a flat plate on top and some cargo. For 3-5 minutes each side, until the characteristic markings.
Panini serve hot if you need to make a large amount — support ready in the oven or in an extra hot pan. And can be simply reduce the size of the individual helpings) Bon appetite!
