recipe-of-the-month |
Here's a recipe for a great sandwich, courtesy of Zingerman's
Deli... one of my fav places to eat in the world...
"3 P's Sandwich"
Prepare
an hour or two in advance so that the oil has a chance to soak
into the bread.
ingredients
- 1/4
cup mellow extra virgin olive oil
- 2
ounces freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese (about 1 cup)
- freshly
ground black pepper to taste
- 1
freshly baked baguette,
split lengthwise
- 2
ounces of prosciutto di parma
(about 2 slices, each 4-6 inches long and 2-3 inches wide)
- 1
cup loosely packed fresh arugula leaves
method
-
In a medium bowl, mix the olive oil, parmigiano and pepper until
smooth.
-
Spread the parmigiano mixture onto one baguette half.
-
Lay on the prosciutto and arugula, then the top slice of bread.
Cut crosswise to make individual sandwiches. Let sit for an
hour or two if possible (see note above).

unique
treat idea |
Looking
for a unique treat to serve (or give away) at an upcoming wedding,
graduation or milestone birthday?
Check
out: www.mymms.com
to order personalized m & m's chocolate candies.
I
first saw these custom treats at a catering convention a couple
of years ago, when the L.A. based caterer "Good Gracious"
filled hurricane vases with their personalized, black and white
m & m's. The crowd definitely noticed!
