Pan-banya (Layered sandwich in bread)
8 servings
30 minutes
Pan-bagnat is a magnificent gastronomic creation from Mediterranean cuisine, inspired by Thai flavors. This layered sandwich in bread combines tender mozzarella, spicy salami, aromatic ham, and refreshing arugula to create a multi-layered symphony of tastes. Sun-dried tomatoes and capers add rich, slightly tangy notes to the dish, while balsamic vinegar and olive oil enhance its sophistication. A special texture is achieved through the bread crust that holds the filling and absorbs all the aromas. Pan-bagnat is perfect for picnics, travel, or lunch on a warm summer day. Wrapped in film, it becomes even tastier as the ingredients meld together, offering a rich and intense flavor with each bite.
