Easy Italian Sandwich Recipes
Italian cuisine is very popular around the world, with pasta and pizza being two dishes nearly everyone knows about; however, Italian sandwiches are no less either, and are very easy to make – taking no more than 10 minutes of your time. While all major restaurants offer Italian food, you can make your own Italian sandwiches for dinner or lunch, using commonly available ingredients. Much like usual sandwiches, Italian sandwiches also use a loaf of bread, but the difference lies in the dressing for both pieces of the bread, like basil pesto, olive oil etc.

- 6 lettuce leaves
- 4 plum (Roma) tomatoes, sliced
- 6 ounces thinly sliced smoked turkey

Layer salami slices, lettuce leaves, tomatoes slices, thinly sliced smoked turkey and cheese on one half of the focaccia and place the other half on the top. Wrap your sandwich in a thin plastic sheet and put it in the fridge for at least one hour to allow the flavours to blend. Cut your stuffed focaccia bread into 6 wedges and serve with your favourite sauce. -
