All about mortadella, and how to make the classic Italian mortadella sandwich (panino.)

Ingredients

  • 4 oz thinly sliced mortadella as many slices as you desire
  • 2 ciabatta bread rolls like Trader Joe's or homemade

Instructions

  • Slice the bread rolls in half, horizontally, leaving the top slightly attached.
  • Place the slices of mortadella evenly along the roll, but make sure you don't make them all flat on top of each other. Twist and move the slices so there's space between the mortadella.
  • Repeat with the second (or subsequent) rolls.

Notes

  • For an authentic variation of the mortadella panino, try it with stracciatella, burrata or fresh mozzarella cheese. Add chopped pistachios, if desired.
  • Try to find good quality mortadella. Brands I have found in the US include Citterio, Veroni and Mastro.
  • Beware that mortadella often contains pistachios (for nut allergy sufferers.)
  • Try a mortadella panino without other ingredients for the first time. Then add other ingredients once you've tasted the original sandwich.
