More from Real Food; Hot Mozzarella Foccacia.
First thing; make foccacia!
Matt says it's the best-looking foccacia I've made yet.
After that, slice fresh mozzarella and marinate it with red pepper and chopped basil, pour on olive oil and allow to sit for half an hour.
Grill scallions.
Assemble sandwiches: Slice foccacia, on one cut side, pour on some of the mozzarella marinate oil, then prosciutto (or veggie bacon), mozzarella, and sliced onions. Grill on each, until cheese melts.
Oooh...yum. The foccacia was fantastic, and the cheese, divine. Although we were both in agreement that the next time? Skip the onions. The scallions were more of a distraction than anything else.
But otherwise, quite nice.

- Foreman Grilled Panini Recipe
Panini are hot. And I don't just mean hot as in "toasted-sandwich-don't-burn-your-fingers" hot I mean trendy hot. How do I know? Well for one thing the Target ad in the Sunday Chronicle featured a panini press for sale. Also this past week NY...
- Pesto Chicken With Yellow Squash
Last weekend my famer's market purchases included some more of those wonderful baby yellow squashes and a packet of basil leaves. Originally I thought I would make pesto chicken with the squash on the side, but then I decided that yellow squash slathered...
- I Should Be Safe From Vampires...
A Rosemary and Garlic Braid. Five bulbs of garlic, roasted in a pan with chopped fresh rosemary (from the four foot tall plant near the front porch!), and olive oil. The paste is mixed with nine (ish) cups of flour, lots of yeast, heated milk, water...
