This recipe is from Kathleen Cannata Hanna's cookbook, "The Good-to-Go Cookbook: Take-Along Food, Quick Suppers, and Satisfying Snacks for On-the-Go Families". The author's goal is to help parents walk the very fine line of nutritiom, economy and readily available ingredients when trying to feed the family. This recipe, published in the Chicago Tribune, is her family's favorite and is very flexible: you can wrap it in foil and put it in the oven, you can cook it on the stove, bring it camping, cook it on the grill, make it in the microwave.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 precooked prepared pizza crust, 8 inches across
4 ounces cream cheese
4 thin slices tomatoes
4 thin slices green bell peppers
4 thin slices pastrami
4 thin slices salami
2 thin slices red onions
4 slices provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Take one of the the pizza crusts and spread it with the cream cheese.
  • Layer with all the remaining ingredients.
  • Top with the other crust; wrap in foil, and set on a baking sheet.
  • Bake 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Cut into wedges.
  • Note: The recipe does not call for it, but for "older" palates, I would add some oregano, crushed red pepper, perhaps some other things.

Tips:

  • When choosing bread, opt for a sturdy variety that can hold up to the fillings, such as a baguette, ciabatta, or focaccia.
  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh vegetables, thinly sliced meats, and flavorful cheeses are all essential.
  • Don't skimp on the olive oil. It adds richness and moisture to the sandwich.
  • If you're using a panini press, preheat it according to the manufacturer's instructions before cooking the sandwich.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately after cooking, while it's still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

The Italian country sandwich is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a snack. With its combination of fresh vegetables, flavorful meats, and cheeses, it's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give the Italian country sandwich a try.
