PEPERONATA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook until it begins to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add bell peppers, sugar, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well combined. Cover pan, and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are very soft, about 30 minutes.
• Slice baguettes in half lengthwise close to the bottom. Scoop out some of the top half so the bread will sit nicely on top of the peppers; set loaves aside, and reserve scooped-out bread for another use. Uncover; raise heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until most of the liquid evaporates and peppers are nicely glazed, about 3 minutes. Stir in balsamic vinegar. Add a little water if necessary, to avoid scorching. Transfer peperonata to a bowl to cool. When cool, peperonata can be stored, refrigerated, up to 4 days.
• Spread the herbed goat cheese on bread, and top with cooled peperonata.

CHICKEN AND PEPERONATA PANINI

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the red onions, orange peppers, red peppers, oregano and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are soft and have a touch of color, about 9 minutes. Add the capers and balsamic; reduce the heat to low and cook an additional 5 minutes, until the peppers are coated in the vinegar. Stir in the basil and set aside to cool.
• Preheat a panini press. Halve the ciabatta rolls horizontally and scoop out some of the insides from the top halves. Divide the pepper mixture evenly among all the halves and top each half with a slice of provolone. Divide the sliced chicken among the ciabatta bottoms and then cover with the ciabatta tops, pressing down slightly. Brush the outside of each sandwich with olive oil.
• Place the sandwiches in the panini press, close the top, and cook until warmed through and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes.
