The Italian Love Sammich Recipes

THE ITALIAN LOVE SAMMICH

Steps:

• Take the slices of focaccia and toast them slightly in a 375 degree oven; about 5 minutes.
• While the bread is toasting, slice your tomatoes and mozzerella, you want thin slices.
• Remove the bread from the oven.
• Top one side with slices of proscuitto, cheese, tomato and finally basil leaves.
• Sprinkle a tiny bit of red wine vinegar and olive oil and the other piece of bread, on the side that will be facing towards the toppings; just a little bit, you don't want it soggy.
• Put both slices together and with your hands (or a brush), rub a bit of olive oil on the outside of each slice.
• Place on a hot grill for about 2 minutes on each side.
• I used my George Foreman grill for that step and it worked FABULOUSLY!
• Remove from the grill, wrap in foil and place in the oven (still at 375) for about 7 minutes.
• Remove, unwrap, slice in half and enjoy.
• Suggested sides: a really good pickle spear, olive salad, gourmet chips, a leafy green salad or whatever you enjoy with your favorite sammich.

FANCY SAMMICH

Steps:

• In a medium nonporous bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice and mix well. Place the pork in the bowl, turning to coat well on all sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours, allowing the pork to marinate.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place tenderloin in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20 to 30 minutes, or until internal pork temperature reaches 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Remove pork from oven. Drain the liquid from the baking dish and reserve for later as a gravy, if desired. Roll out the two puff pastry sheets and wrap each piece of tenderloin in the dough, sealing the edges to completely enclose the meat. Return this to the baking dish.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
