Mushrooms and Grilled Zucchini Panino by DK on May 5, 2008
I came across this recipe in a vegetarian book ( at Barnes and Nobles) and fell in love with it immediately. If you like sandwiches or are a fan of Subway, then you will surely like this one. This panino is simple and v filling. A good one esp when going for picnics or for easy/healthy lunch boxes.
Serve it cold, serve it hot - it will be your fav whichever way.

- Prep time:
- Yields: Serves 2-4 people
- 1 country syle loaf
- 3 zucchini, sliced into thin slices, lengthwise
- 2-3 cups of cremini mushrooms
- 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 3 tbps pesto ( you can even use green chutney ( made of mint,coriander, onions, chillies and lemon juice)
- slices of mozzarella or provolone cheese
- 2 cups salad greens
- salt and pepper to taste
Slice the top third of the loaf and remove the inside of both the lid and base, leaving a thickness of about 1/2 inch around the edge. ( I used these left over breads to make Upma along with normal bread. No wastages)
Grill the zucchini and set aside.
You can grill mushrooms too if you want. Or you can simply saute them for a while in a non stick pan with little olive oil, garlic and oregano.
Arrange half of Zucchini in the base of the loaf, spread with little pesto ( or green chutney). Top it with half cheese slices and salad greens and all the mushroom mixture.
Add one more layer each of the remaining cheese , salad greens and Zucchini.
5.Press the lid down gently on top, wrap in plastic wrap and leave to chill. If you like it warm, set it in the oven for 5-10min in 350F till the cheese slowly melts.Cut into wedges and serve.

That's a great country-side delight that you have here. Gorgeous entry for the Sandwich festival. Thank you so much. You know I often see these round bread loaves at the market but did not what I would do with them. I will go for one of those now. I like the idea of grilling the sandwich till the cheese melts.
Thanks again. See you at the round-up
