“Naxos” the Sicilian Summer Sandwich

A gourmet sandwich, not the classic beach sandwich, but a true dish, to be savored with a chilled Sicilian Prosecco.
“Naxos” the Sicilian Summer Sandwich speaks Sicilian with all its ingredients, starting from the remilled semolina bread, followed by prawns from our sea, and then the burrata from the Nebrodi.
All around, the garden vegetables: cherry tomatoes from Pachino, arugula, lettuce, basil, and among all stand out the carpaccio zucchini.
“Naxos” the Sicilian Summer Sandwich is seasoned with Sicilian extra virgin olive oil, lemon drops and zest, and dried oregano.

Steps

To make

The first thing to do is choose the bread. I used the dough of my whole wheat remilled semolina bread, made into rolls and not loaves.
Next, marinate the zucchini following my recipe click here to see it.
Now let’s move on to the prawns: Wash them and remove heads and shells, but don’t throw them away, you can make a good fish broth.
Drizzle the prawns with a bit of extra virgin olive oil, then heat a non-stick pan, and when it’s hot, place the prawns and cook them 10 seconds per side.
Now place them in a small bowl.
Prepare the vegetables and shred the burrata.
Let’s assemble the sandwich
Cut the sandwich and remove the internal crumb.
Inside, add in order:
Salt, pepper, and a drop of extra virgin olive oil.
Then a bed of julienned lettuce and marinated zucchini
Now the cherry tomatoes cut in half and seasoned with salt and oregano.
Then the arugula
The shredded burrata with grated lemon peel on top
and to almost complete…the prawns previously toasted in the pan, and finish with lemon juice and a drizzle of oil.
Close this Sicilian treasure chest and bon appétit, “Naxos” the Sicilian Summer Sandwich is ready for you.
