Treat your ingredients with care...
- Mortadella — Choose a high-quality mortadella with a good balance of lean meat and fat for the best flavor and texture.
- Mozzarella cheese — Opt for fresh mozzarella for its creamy texture. If unavailable, you can use shredded mozzarella as a substitute.
- Italian bread roll — Look for a crusty roll with a soft interior, such as ciabatta or baguette, to provide a satisfying crunch while still being easy to bite into.
- Pickles — Use dill pickles for a tangy and slightly sour flavor that complements the mortadella. Feel free to experiment with other types of pickles if desired.
- Lettuce — Choose a crisp lettuce variety, such as romaine or iceberg, to add a refreshing crunch to the sandwich.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra burst of flavor, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard or mayonnaise on the bread before assembling the sandwich.
- To add a touch of heat, consider adding a few slices of spicy salami or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- If you prefer a warm sandwich, you can lightly toast the bread roll before assembling the ingredients.
- Customize your Panino con Mortadella by adding sliced tomatoes, roasted red peppers, or even a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
- If you're not a fan of pickles, you can substitute them with sliced olives or roasted bell peppers for a different twist.
Serving advice
Serve the Panino con Mortadella immediately after preparation to enjoy the contrast of flavors and textures at their best. Accompany it with a side of crispy potato chips or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
Presentation advice
To present the Panino con Mortadella beautifully, cut it diagonally to showcase the layers of ingredients. Serve it on a wooden cutting board or a rustic plate to enhance the Italian charm. Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil or parsley for an added touch of color.
