I don’t know exactly how many panini recipes I’ve posted featuring cheddar and apples (four come to mind) but it’s got to be one of my favorite combinations. I couldn’t help but come up with yet one more once I read this Rosemary Apple Butter Grilled Cheese post on Framed Cooks. The addition of fragrant, [...]

Okay, Packers fans – thanks for indulging my Pittsburgh-themed panini earlier this week. This next one is for you! When I asked the Panini Happy Facebook fans for sandwich suggestions to represent Green Bay, naturally beer and cheese came to many people’s minds. It’s a classic Wisconsin pairing. As I explored different ideas for how [...]

This past weekend I decided to recreate the short rib panini I’d been hearing so much about around town. Port wine braised beef with aged cheddar and onion marmalade – it sounded unbelievable. They serve them at Nine-Ten, an upscale restaurant at the Grande Colonial Hotel in nearby La Jolla, and have been described as [...]

One of the perks of Valentine’s Day falling on a weekend this year is the opportunity to make a special breakfast for the three valentines in my life – my dear husband, delightful two-year old daughter and cuddly new 7-week old son. Well, that last one doesn’t really get to enjoy any, but it’s the [...]

[tweetmeme] Suffice it to say Southwestern Chili Panini aren’t likely to win any sandwich beauty pageants. But while they might not be much of a feast for the eyes, let me assure you that your mouth will be very happy you decided to make them.

I had a friend in business school – a Frenchman – who would put together the most fabulous dinner parties with the simplest of ingredients. My roommate and I would watch in awe as he transformed the inexpensive, fresh staple items we’d picked up earlier in the day – a whole chicken, honey, herbs, vegetables [...]

“Town” & “Country” Pulled Pork Panini

August 23, 2008

It’s a twofer, folks – my indecision is your gain!  Pulled pork panini, two ways.  Can you really go wrong? The concept for “Town” and “Country” panini comes from a little restaurant up in Irvine called Jackson Barne.  An unassuming place in a strip mall, my co-workers and I used to lunch there often back [...]
