Piquant prosciutto crudo, ricotta, limone candito e rucola panini
French baguette is an all time classic for a sandwich, even in Italy. But if you’re using classic bread, a nice idea is to let your creativity work on choosing what to put inside. Prosciutto crudo (simply called prosciutto in North America) has a savory quality that pairs well with creamy ricotta cheese. Arugula gives freshness and peppery flavor. Finally, canditi di limone or Italian candied lemon peel completes the sandwich with an interesting zing.
Ingredients (for 2 sandwiches)
1 medium sized baguette
6 paper-thin slices prosciutto
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp candied lemon peel
Slice the baguette in half lengthwise. Mix the ricotta cheese with the olive oil and candied lemon peel. Simply put the slices of prosciutto on one half of the baguette. On top, spread the ricotta mixture. Add the arugula and a touch of coarse salt. Close your sandwich.

You're making me so darn hungry! That sandwich sounds heavenly!!
I'd go on a picnic with you guys anytime:D
I love the idea of the candied lemon peel, how brilliant!
What scrumptious sandwiches! Yummy!
By the way, I recieved some breads from Sardegna and don't know how to eat them. I've searched the whole net for information, but found nothing... They are called "Pane Ladu" and are hard cracker-like pillow breads (see picture here: http://www.travelpod.com/travel-photo/worldramblings/world-ramblings/1183051500/dsc07635.jpg/tpod.html). Is there any chance you know how to eat them?
Thanks and cheers,

Drooling over ingredients list.Candied lemon peel sounds awesome.
No messing around here, that is what I call a sandwich!
i absolutely LOVE the addition of the candied lemon peel.. is this something that is often done in Italy?? It's the first time I hear of including that ingredient in a panini
@ Marianna: candied lemon peel and ricotta is something you can find in Sicilian pastries, but using this combo in a sandwich was my idea! ;)
@ Lisa: nothing wrong about having a sandwich for breakfast I think ;P
@ Rosa: Well you surprised me with that bread. I even thought the shape of pane landu was kind of different, and yours reminds me more of tondas. Anyway, what I can tell you is that in Sardinia they usually use cracker-like bread to accompany their fabulous stews. You could try a nice sheep ragù!

Very nice, Daziano!
Nice sandwich! I like the sound of using the Italian candied lemon peel in it.
Yummy! This is different to use candied lemon peel but must be so good. I like the presentation of your sandwiches.
Your addition of the lemon peel to this yummy sandwich sounds so good Daziano, I am going to try this tomorrow, Thank you, Kathy
Thanks :-D! I'll eat that bread as an accompaniment to a stew...
I love your food Daziano! It is so crazy, it is the best mix between simple fresh ingredients with out of the box creativity that is still understated. It's great!
Wow that ricotta with lemon sounds perfect on some crusty bread. A sandwich of sandwiches I would say :)
And I can't believe you stop in Albany. If you ever stop from now until Christmas let me know.
