Broccoli Rabe & Fresh Mozzarella Panini
- 1/2 a bunch of fresh broccoli rabe, chopped into thirds
- 4 flat anchovies packed in oil, finely chopped
- 4-6 garlic cloves, sliced thin
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- pinch of salt
- 2 wedges ciabetta bread (or other hearty bread), sliced in half
- 4 thin slices fresh mozzarella
- harissa
- Quickly steam (or blanch) the broccoli rabe until it is just crisp tender and set aside.
- Cook the anchovies and garlic in olive oil until the garlic just begins to turn golden and the anchovies begin to dissolve, about 2-3 minutes. Add the broccoli rabe to the pan, sprinkle it with a pinch of salt and cook (stirring frequently) an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Heat a panini or sandwich press according to manufacturer's instructions until hot. Brush one side of the bread slices with olive oil and place on a work surface. Layer the broccoli rabe mixture and two slices of mozzarella on each bottom slice. Spread the top slice with harissa and place on the sandwich.
- Put sandwiches on the press, pull down the top and cook until the cheese has melted and the ciabatta is browned and crisp, 4 to 7 minutes.
