I loved this sandwich! The red bell pepper added such a nice sweetness that contrasted well with the arugula. I bought Boar's Head prosciutto sliced razor thin from the deli. Delicious! Forgive me... but I served a little bit of horseradish mayo on the side and smeared it on as I was eating it. That was probably not a very authentic Italian addition but OMG! What a savory sandwich. This was my very first panini sandwich I and I am hooked. I had to use the primitive weigh it down with a cast iron skillet method but it worked. Mama Pot Scrubber will not stop carrying on about this sandwich! I've made her one for the last three days for lunch She loves it.

This is a great sandwich! I used plain olive oil and roasted some garlic to use in it. I also skipped the red pepper.
