Recipe Summary Manchego And Mushroom Sandwiches With Arugula Salad

A light, but filling, panini meal--one of my family's favorites. Relatively simple, with plenty of room for anyone to improve it based on their own style of cooking.

Ingredients | Jamon And Manchego Croquetas

2 cloves garlic, minced, divided

1 (8 ounce) package cremini mushrooms, wiped clean, trimmed, and sliced

2 shallots, halved and thinly sliced

3 ½ tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed, divided

¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste, divided

ground black pepper to taste

4 slices sourdough bread

1 ½ tablespoons fig jam

2 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded

2 ounces Manchego cheese, shredded

1 tablespoon sherry vinegar

3 sweet bell peppers, seeded and finely chopped

1 cup arugula

½ cup baby spinach leaves

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place 1/4 teaspoon garlic in a large bowl.

Toss remaining garlic, mushrooms, shallots, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper together on a rimmed baking sheet, arranging in a single layer.

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and tender, 12 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, arrange bread slices in a single layer on a separate baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil; flip. Spread fig jam over 2 slices. Sprinkle Manchego cheese and mozzarella cheese over remaining 2 slices.

Transfer bread to the preheated oven and toast until golden and cheese is melted, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

While bread toasts, add sherry vinegar to bowl of reserved garlic. Add 1/2 of the bell peppers, remaining olive oil, remaining salt, and pepper; whisk to combine. Add arugula and spinach, tossing to coat.

Top cheesy sides of bread with remaining bell peppers, mushrooms, shallots, and a small handful of the salad mixture. Top these with remaining bread slices, jam-side down. Halve paninis; serve with remaining salad mixture.

Mirin (sweet Japanese cooking wine) makes for a good, less abrasive substitute for the sherry vinegar.

Infused oils such as garlic or chile oil work extremely well in place of olive oil on the bread for added flavor.
