ANTIPASTO BREAD

Sauteed vegetables add fresh, robust flavor to these hearty bread slices from Genise Krause of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. For a change of pace, use prosciutto or shaved deli ham instead of salami. GENISE'S TIP: "On extra-busy nights, I sometimes substitute prepared giardiniera for the vegetables to speed things up."

Categories     Bread     Salad

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 baguette, semolina round loaf, or other crusty bread
3/4 pound mixed assorted Italian ham and salami (choose from Genoa salami, capocollo spicy ham, prosciutto, prosciutto cotto, sweet or hot sopressata, mortadella, hard salami, pepperoni, abruzzese salami, calabrese salami)
1/3 pound Italian table cheeses (choose from Provolone, Pecorino, Asiago, Fontina, Scamorza, or mozzarella)
1 cup giardiniera (Italian jarred hot pickled vegetables), drained
A handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
A handful of olives, pitted and chopped
1 celery rib with the greens, chopped
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce hearts
Juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) (eyeball it)
Coarse black pepper
Shredded or torn fresh basil, if you have it, or a few spoonfuls of prepared pesto will do

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°F.
  • Crisp the bread in the low oven and cool. Split and hollow out the bread.
  • Chop and add the meats, cutting them into bite-size pieces or strips and place in a large bowl. Dice or slice the cheeses and add to the meats. Finely chop the pickled vegetables and add to the bowl. Add the parsley, olives, celery, and lettuce to your antipasto salad and dress with the lemon juice, EVOO, and pepper.
  • Fill the bottom of the bread with salad, mounding and packing it in there with a rubber spatula to help. Top with the basil leaves or spread the top with a layer of pesto, and set the top into place, pressing down on the stuffed bread. Cut a baguette into 4 pieces across, or cut a round loaf into 4 wedges. Wrap the ends of the sandwiches with wax paper or paper towels to control drips. How wide can you open your mouth?

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small-medium size eggplant, trimmed and cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices
2 zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices
1 red bell pepper, roasted & cut into wide strips
1 yellow bell pepper, roasted and cut into wide strips
1 small fennel bulb, cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch thick slices
6 large cloves garlic, sliced thin
2/3 cup diced pitted black olives
1/3 cup minced fresh herbs (parsley, basil, oregano, thyme)
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Extra-virgin olive oil to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Arrange vegetables on a baking sheet and brush both sides with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place in oven and roast for 7 to 8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. When vegetables are cool enough to handle begin layering on a large dish. Place eggplant in the bottom of the dish, drizzle with some olive oil, and add some of the garlic. Add some of the fresh herbs, and then some olives. Sprinkle a little vinegar on top and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to layer vegetables, along with seasonings, adding the peppers next, and then fennel, and finally the zucchini. Cover dish with plastic wrap and let chill at least 4 hours or overnight.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables for a more colorful and flavorful antipasto.
  • If you don't have any sun-dried tomatoes, you can use regular tomatoes, just be sure to roast them first.
  • If you don't have any balsamic vinegar, you can use red wine vinegar instead.
  • Be sure to let the bread cool slightly before slicing it, otherwise, the cheese will be too melty.
  • Serve the bread immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
