OT: Bombattata & Bombanino

Zippylip

Pretty sure I practically ingested an entire bottle of this myself in 24 hours; it is very exciting.

Moving right along in order of what I eat, the bombattata was a match made in heaven, two beaten eggs poured into a small pan with hot olive oil, let set for about 30 seconds, spoon in the bomba & a little thinly shaved imported asiago, cook another minute then pop briefly under the broiler and voila, the bambattata, so good I wanted to make a second one:





The bombanino is another natural which seems to be what this stuff is made for, spread liberally over one half of the cut ciabatta then topped with picante provolone & a little pepperoni, pressed for about 5 minutes & served with a few hot cherry peppers to kick it a little further along, simply perfect.

Zippy,

Do you get paninis there. I have never seen them.

Steve

Zippylip

Yes, there are paninoteca to be found, but the ones I find most often are on my table

Little Steven

I would have sent you the cherries if I had been able to get to the importer. Have you tried the pepperoncini yet?

Lookin good ther Zippy :woohoo: I don't have one of those "fancy" presses,but I think I can make it work Maybe a hot cast iron skillet or something :woohoo: I'll add it to my(ever growing)list

Zippylip

No, I am about 1/2 way through a quart jug of them I already had opened

Little Steven

Sparky,

There is one on sale at the Bomba distributor. I think Santa may get that for me. If you buy anything like that, make sure you get he real Italian made. I had a Black and Decker or something like that and just didn't last. I have a bacon press that I use now.

Wrap a fireplace brick in foil & put it on the egg next to your cast iron pan, let'm both heat up then put the panino in & pop the brick on top, 5 minutes later you're eat'n like a zippy

"Sparky"

Sweet!!,I'll give that a try :woohoo:

OK, I don't say this often, and follow through even less frequently, but I have to say....

I am doing one of those panini tonight. Incredible idea man -- love it!

Zippylip

may you go against all your long standing principles and follow through, you will not be disappointed, I think this is what Mr. Allessia had in mind when he created that god awfully good conglomeration of chopped, stuff
