Panini

I tried another food stall today at the Century City Farmer’s Market.  On the way in, I did stop by Wasted Cupcakes (www.wastedcupcakes.com) to pick up some Lemon Drop cupcakes to take home (and got to finally taste one as a sample).  Yummmmm!

Anyway, after picking up some strawberries, my co-worker Madeleine and I made our way towards the back to the market where most of the food stalls are located and saw one I hadn’t seen before:  a panini booth.  I was intrigued, so I decided to get one. Paninoteca Arugula (www.facebook.com/ArugulaPanini) offers up a pretty good menu.  I spoke with Emmy from Arugula, and she told me that currently they only do the Century City and Brentwood Farmer’s Markets, and they cater.  I think they are trying to build some traction.

I ordered the Prosciutto di Parma with mozzarella and pesto.  It comes on either white or wheat….and the bread is very thin and crusty (which works well for this type of sandwich).  It was complimented by some kalamata olives on the side.  The panini was very tasty and had a little crunch to it (from the bread).  The pesto complimented the prosciutto very well.
