A lot can be said about sandwiches. They are intrinsically linked to everyday eating that it's hard to pinpoint when it really came into being and became the star of the lunchbox. The most popular story is that of the 4th earl of sandwich, a rather keen card player that needed sustenance that would keep his hands free to play. His valet brought him some meat bolstered by two slices of bread and the rest is history.
Sandwiches have become more interesting compared to boring white bread cemented together with peanut butter and jam. Nowadays there are exciting combinations such as parma ham and Gruyere, hummus and carrot, tuna & wasabi, the list is endless.
My simple panini (Italian for sandwich) is a creation that is quick and is sure to honour the sanctity of the sandwich.
Goats cheese & chorizo panini.
A panini of course
A few slices of crumbly chevre goats cheese
A handful of wild rocket
A fair amount of chorizo sliced up.
first things first, fry your chorizo in a little olive oil until warm and crispy. Slice you panini and butter it ( everything is always better with butter). Then put your wild rocket on, crumble your goats cheese and scatter with chorizo sliced. An addition drizzle of balsamic reduction would also be great on this sandwich. Enjoy every morsel!
