I love grilling season. Unfortunatley, we can't grill every night in the summer. Sometimes we have to cook inside. Its a bummer because it makes the house hot, but oh well.
Tonight I'm going to make paninis. My step son calls them "bikinis" or "zuccinis" and my three year old insists they're "bananas". I don't know why:-)
This is a light, no meat panini recipe you can make with- or without- a panini press.
I use:
Foccacia bread
Fresh mozzarella slices
Fresh tomato slices
Red onion slices
Spinach or arugula
Pesto
Balsamic vinaigrette (or equal parts basamic and evoo)
The pesto and vinaigrette are for the bread. You can pile everything else on. Then cook it on medium in the press for about 5 minutes. If you don't have a press, you can wrap a brick in tin foil and press it in a pan on the stove (Thanks Rachel Ray... you are good for some things... lol) or you can broil them, open faced in the oven.
Enjoy your "bikinis" :-)
