Super Sandwiches for Game Day-ciabatta rolls

Ciabatta, also known as ‘slipper’ bread because of its flat shoe-like shape, is a rustic Italian bread. Similar to sourdough, but with an open texture and crusty flour top, this bread is an excellent alternative to your everyday humdrum sliced bread.

Ingredients

  • 8-10 ounces boneless/skinless chicken breast, grilled and thinly sliced
  • 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • Green Bell peppers, roasted (or you can use bottled roasted sweet red pepper, drained, and toweled dry
  • Ciabatta rolls, or other soft sourdough rolls
  • Garlic aioli sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat grill or a skillet. Using a bread knife, slice each roll in half. Brush cut sides with aioli sauce. Layer red pepper, prosciutto, and grilled chicken. Replace top half of roll. Repeat with all sandwiches.
  2. These sandwiches are delicious as they are but if desired you can toast them. Place sandwiches on the grill (or in the skillet). Weigh sandwiches down and grill for about 2 minutes on each side or until each side is lightly toasted.

For the garlic aioli sauce:
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 egg yolks
1 1/4 cups olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon, to taste

Directions:
Place the garlic and a good pinch of salt in a mortar and pound to a paste with a pestle. Using a small whisk or a wooden spoon, gradually work in the egg yolks.
Beat in about half the olive oil, a drop at a time. When the sauce is as thick as soft butter, beat in 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice. Continue adding oil until the aioli is very thick. Season to taste, adding more lemon juice if you wish.
