Ino's Pancetta, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwich
- 1 recipe Lemon Aioli
- 8 ounces pancetta, sliced into 16 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling over the tomatoes
- 2 or 3 ripe tomatoes, core end discarded, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 slices white or whole-wheat sourdough bread
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- Approximately 2 cups arugula leaves, loosely packed (about 1 to 1 1/2 ounces)
- Place the slices of pancetta about 1/2 inch apart from each other on a baking sheet.
- Cook them for about 20 minutes, until they're cooked through, but not crisp.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the tomato slices, and sprinkle them with salt.
- Allow them to sit for 5-10 minutes.
- To assemble the sandwiches: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the lemon aioli on one side of each slice of bread.
- Arrange the slices of pancetta on the bottom of the slices of bread, and place tomato slices over it.
- Arrange the arugula on top and cover with the top slice of bread.
- Spread the outer slices of bread with softened butter and grill in a panini machine, or brush with olive oil and grill on a charcoal or gas grill.
- Cut each sandwich in half on the diagonal.
