Steps:
- Remove zest from a quarter of 1 orange, cut zest into very thin strips, and set aside.
- Cut away peel and pith of oranges and separate segments, removing white membranes. Cut segments into 1/2-inch pieces, and place in a small bowl. Coarsely chop olives, and add to oranges. Add shallot, olive oil, orange juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper; toss to combine.
- Cut bread into 4 wedges. Split 1 wedge crosswise with your hands (set remaining bread aside for another use), separating the top and bottom crusts. Tear each half into 4 chunks, and arrange on a serving plate. Place a slice of ham, folding or rolling it if necessary, on each piece of bread, and spoon about 1 tablespoon of the orange mixture on top. Sprinkle with zest, and serve.
CHARRED SPANISH HAM AND CHEESE MELTS AND "HOT" OLIVES WITH HERBS AND SPICES
Rachael's note: Serrano ham is similar to prosciutto and available at deli counter or in pre-sliced packages near the deli. If you can't find it, go for the prosciutto. Preheat grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high. Manchego is the most commonly found Spanish import cheese in markets today. Look for it with the imported cheeses offered in your market. Look for giardiniera (hot veggies salad) at the salad bar station in your market or, in jars on international foods aisle.

This is a wonderful and quick dinner. I have never not been asked for the recipe when I serve it to friends.

Toss in some artichoke hearts if you'd like.
