Zerelli's Mediterranean Market

A lovely day for a walk to Elgin Corners and a visit to Zerelli's Mediterranean Market to get freshly baked bread for lunch. The market is quite large for a little neighbourhood mall. Its filled with lots of goodies from greek salads, assortment of cheeses and meats to sweet treats to olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

The bread featured here is foccacia. Made fresh everyday. Aside from bread, we also bought some very nice and lean capicolo and a piece of baklava.
I was starving and quickly slapped these sandwiches together and put them in a make shift panini press. I used a regular non-stick pan on the heat, put the sandwiches on that pan and used a cast iron pan to press the sandwich.
One sandwich had roast beef with jalapeno Havarti and organice greens. The other had capicolo, goat cheese and organic greens.
Both turned out pretty yummy. Perhaps next time I might not turn the heat on so high as to not scorch the bread.

Speaking of make shift sandwhich presses.....I use my Hamilton Beach indoor grill. So far just for grilled cheese for the kids. It works great.
