Equipment

Cuisinart Griddler

Ingredients

4 slices Italian bread thicker is better
4 slices Genoa salami
6 slices hot salami or sandwich pepperoni
2 slices provolone cheese
Giardiniera relish to taste
2 teaspoons vegetable oil olive oil

Instructions

Pre-heat your Griddler with the dials set for high-heat panini griddles.
Set out the bread slices on a cutting board or counter top.
Top with the meats and cheese.
Top the sandwiches with the relish. Be heavy handed or go light with it, it's up to you. Be sure to get some of the oil from the relish too.
Add the top slices of bread to form the sandwiches.
Brush the outsides of the bread slices with the oil.
Transfer to the Griddler and close the lid. Cook until the bread is golden brown and crunchy.
Remove and let cool slightly before slicing (if desired) and serving.

Notes

Do not put a lot of pressure on the griddle lid while cooking as it will cause the meats and cheese to escape. Try to keep the lid level so that the tops of the sandwiches cook evenly.
