I was chatting with my brother this weekend about the blog and he described this panini to me. He had eaten it at a joint in Chicago and had made the dish for my mom and sister not too long ago. So…I thought I’d give it a try. I normally make breakfasts on the weekends [...]

I’ve had a lot of Spanish influence in the past few years. I created this dish as an expression of those influences. It’s drop dead simple and quick to prepare.
One of the things that the Spanish enjoy doing is sopping up sauces and broths with great bread. For this recipe, I love using a Ciabatta [...]
