Viana La Place's Umbrian Black Olive Panino
This sandwich recipe is unusual in its simplicity, but still manages to teach us a few things we didn't already know. Yes, you can, and should, make olives into a sandwich, and an olive sandwich into lunch. But, more than that, you can use La Place's panino techniques any time: Swipe a little garlic on your bread before you layer on tomatoes or cured meats. Or douse it in lemon and olive oil first (try this under a slab of fresh mozzarella). Consider zest. Fill a roll with marinated mushrooms, or roasted peppers, or pickles, and not much else. Recipe from Panini, Bruschetta, Crostini: Sandwiches, Italian Style (William Morrow, 2002) Sandwich fan? Tune into our podcast, The Sandwich Universe, where co-hosts and longtime BFFs Molly Baz and Declan Bond debate and cook up iconic sandwiches every ‘wich way.
