Pepper Tuna Panini Pizzas Food

PIZZA PANINI

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil and the sausage and cook, breaking apart the sausage with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Add the salt, red pepper and onion and cook, stirring often, until the peppers and onions are soft and the sausage begins to brown, about another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Divide 1/4 cup marinara sauce between each half of one of the ciabatta rolls and top with a quarter of the mozzarella slices over the sauce. Place 2 slices of the pepperoni on the top half and fill the bottom half with a quarter of the sausage mixture. Sprinkle the sausage with 1/4 cup of the Parmesan. Sandwich together and continue with the remaining ingredients.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil and 2 of the sandwiches top-side down to the skillet. Place a small pan on top and press down gently to flatten slightly. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and return the pan to the top, again pressing gently. Cook until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet and continue with the remaining sandwiches. Allow the sandwiches to cool to room temperature and then chill them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Before serving, slice the sandwiches into wedges like you would a pizza.

TUNA AND ARTICHOKE PANINI

Steps:

• Puree the olives, oil, garlic, and zest in a food processor until smooth and spreadable. Blend in the mayonnaise. Toss the tuna, artichokes, lemon juice, and pepper in a medium bowl, keeping the tuna in small chunks.
• Hollow out the bottom and top halves of the bread. Spread the olive puree over both cut sides of the bread. Spoon the tuna and artichoke mixture onto the bottom half of the bread. Sprinkle the tomatoes over. Cover with the bread top. Cut the sandwich crosswise into 6 pieces and serve.

TUNA AND PEPPER PANINI MELT

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together the tuna, red pepper, celery, green onions, mayonnaise, yogurt, capers, cumin, pepper, salt and cayenne pepper.
• Cut the buns in half horizontally.
• Spread the tuna mixture evenly over the bottom half of each.
• Sprinkle each evenly with cheese.
• Replace the bun tops.
• In a nonstick skillet or panini grill, cook the sandwiches over medium heat, pressing often to flatten and turning once (no need to turn if using a panini grill), for about 5 minutes or until crusty and the cheese is melted.
