The "Triple P"

Pork & Pear Panini

I love paninis even though I don't have a press.  Improvise by using a grilling pan (for the marks) and press with a spatula.  I've had an apple and cheese panini that was great so I decided to try this one.  Anyway, who doesn't love a good pork?  Slice up one bosc pear and saute with a little butter and nutmeg until soft.  On a slice of your favorite bread slather a little onion fig jam and top with several slices of deli pork.  On the other slice of bread add shredded gruyere cheese (with a light nutty flavor) and the sliced pear.  Put sandwich together and grill on a panini press; or my ghetto version.  Try substituting other fruits, flavors, etc.

About Little Murph

Liverpool, NY, United States
My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
