This buckwheat Italian sandwich is perfect if you need a fast bite for lunch or a beautiful sandwich for a picnic.

Ingredients:

• Before we start, let’s gather all the ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
• Bread: A fresh ciabatta or focaccia loaf
• Meats: Thinly sliced prosciutto, salami, and mortadella
• Cheese: Provolone or mozzarella
• Vegetables: Fresh arugula, roasted red peppers, and sun-dried tomatoes
• Condiments: Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and pesto
• Extras: Fresh basil leaves, salt, and pepper

 

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bread: To get started it is easy to cut your ciabatta or your focaccia in half through the length of the bread. Pour over the two halves a nice quantity of olive oil and a few spoons of the balsamic vinegar. This will enhance the taste of your sandwich adding a rather tangy note to the mix.
2. Layer the Meats: Top one-half of the bread with the sliced prosciutto, salami and mortadella in a thin layer on top of the bread. These two pasta mainstays deliver a rich mouth feel with an everlasting wave of harmonising flavors.
3. Add the Cheese: Lay provolone or mozzarella cheese on the meat then go on. If you are a fan of cheese, then don’t skip it. You can always add an extra layer for a delicious melted cheese.
4. Pile on the Vegetables: Finally, it is necessary to insert fresh arugula, the roasted red peppers, and sun-dried tomatoes. These vegetables also add a touch of color and a combination of sweetness and a slight spiciness
5. Spread the Pesto: On the top half of the bread spread some pesto as liberally as you can, but again on this same side. This salty sauce which I consider to be more of a herbaceous sauce will be highly suitable to your sandwich.
6. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the two halves of the bread on top of each other ensuring that they can fit when placed in that position. To mix well, just apply slight pressure on the mixture to avoid the flour from getting stiff, Maureen said.
7. Add the Finishing Touches: To give it an extra boost of the coolant effect, it is best to include some fresh basil leaves rolled up in the sandwich. Sprinkle the required quantities of salt and/or pepper according to the patient’s preference.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the sandwich and serve it right away as this is tasty best when it is served hot. Enjoy it with a glass or two of Italian wine or with any beverage you prefer, be it a Lemonade can also complement the meal.
