I definitely thought these were tasty. However, I feel the olives completely overpower the giardiniera. Don't get me wrong, I love olives, but I was expecting a bit of that spicy, pickly flavor from the pickled veggies, which I didn't get at all. We have a panini press, which is slowly becoming one of my favorite kitchen appliances, and these sandwiches were awesome made in the press. I used sesame seed whole wheat kaiser rolls, which added another element and made them super tasty.

This is truly delicious, wonderful, and a meal by itself! You won't miss the meat at all but the quality of the bread is crucial; use a thick-crusted rustic bread. I even hollow it out a bit so I can get more filling inside. This is the perfect sammie!!!
