Best Rosemary Garlic And Mushroom Panini Recipes

GREENS AND MUSHROOM PANINI

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water in the pot comes to a boil, salt generously and add the greens. Bring the water back to a boil, and boil for two to three minutes, depending on the sturdiness of the greens. Transfer to the ice water to cool for a few minutes, and then drain and squeeze out excess water. Chop coarsely.
• Preheat a panini grill. Brush both sides of the mushroom slices with olive oil, and grill for one to two minutes. Season if desired. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds, and stir in the greens. Toss to coat with oil, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
• Sprinkle half the cheese over two of the bread slices, and top the cheese with a few mushroom slices. Next, pile half the greens on top, and press them down with the back of a spoon. Top the greens with the remaining cheese, and cover with the remaining bread. Brush the outside of the sandwich with a little olive oil. Place in the panini maker, and grill for three to five minutes until the cheese has melted and the bread is toasty.

WILD RICE WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLICKY MUSHROOMS

Add the mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are browned and soft and the liquid they release has evaporated, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
• Gently mix the mushrooms and chopped rosemary into the cooled rice. Add salt to taste. Just before serving, garnish the rice with a drizzle of good olive oil and a sprig of fresh rosemary.

• Hold the pepper with a long fork over an open flame, or roast under the broiler, turning often, until the skin gets black on all sides.
• This will take about 7 to 10 minutes over the flame and about 10 minutes in the broiler.
• Put the pepper in a paper bag and close tightly to steam it.
• When the pepper is cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and remove the seeds and stem.
• Slice the pepper into strips.
• To assemble the sandwiches, spread the ciabatta halves with mayo.
• Layer with the arugula leaves and read pepper slives, and top with the portobello slices to cover the length of the sandwiches.
