Yield Makes 18

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 4-ounce package sliced bresaola*
54 (about) arugula leaves
1 medium fennel bulb, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise
1 4-ounce piece Manchego or Parmesan cheese, shaved into strips

Steps:

  • Whisk olive oil and lemon juice in small bowl to blend; set dressing aside. Place 1 bresaola slice on work surface with 1 long side parallel to edge. Place 3 arugula leaves at 1 short end so that leaves extend past 1 long side. Top with layer of sliced fennel, then 2 cheese strips. Sprinkle with pepper. Drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon dressing. Starting at filled end, roll up bresaola, enclosing filling. Arrange, seam side down, on platter. Repeat with remaining ingredients to form 18 rolls total. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover with plastic wrap; chill. Before serving, let stand 30 minutes at room temperature.)
  • *Available at Italian markets and some specialty foods stores.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful prosciutto, and creamy ricotta cheese.
  • Slice the tomatoes and prosciutto thinly so that they are easy to eat. This will also help the flavors to meld together.
  • Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the bread. This will help to keep the sandwich moist and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Season the sandwich with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as dried oregano or basil, if desired.
  • Grill the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include a green salad, roasted potatoes, or chips.

Conclusion:

The bresaola and ricotta panini is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The combination of salty bresaola, creamy ricotta cheese, and fresh tomatoes is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a simple but satisfying meal, give this sandwich a try!
