Cuban Paninis
Football is back; the weather is getting cooler and the corn is almost gone for another year. Chef Teresa has put together this great combination to help celebrate great food geared to the yearly practice of being a couch potato. We welcomed the baseball season with the Recipe of the Week Hot Dogs . It is only fitting to begin the new sports season with a delicious new sandwich.
Here is a note to those of you who like the idea of Pininis but don’t have the pan or press to make them. Don’t let marketing ploys sell you yet another electric gadget that only does one thing. Use a grill pan, and you should have one of these for all kinds of foods, with another heavy pot or pan placed on top. Flip the sandwich over halfway through the cooking cycle and you will get the same results. This is precisely the way Chef Teresa made this sandwich… see you couldn’t tell the difference. This method works really well on those grilled cheese sandwiches the kids love and they will love you for the new look and increased flavor. GO BEARS!!!
