A perfect sandwich for a summer picnic. Filled with salami, spinach, basil, pesto and mozzarella, it has all the flavours of Italy that kids and grownups will enjoy
Prep:10 mins
Serves 4
1 white or brown baguette3 tbsp fresh green pesto1 beef tomato1 ball mozzarella (about 200g)2 handfuls baby spinach leaveshandful basil leaves6 slices salami
STEP 1Slice the baguette in half lengthways and hollow out (make crumbs from the bread centre and save for another recipe). Spread the bottom half with the pesto. Slice the tomato and layer it over the pesto. Slice the mozzarella and add in a layer over the tomato.STEP 2Finish with layers of spinach and basil, plus the salami, folded in half if necessary to fit the width of the baguette.STEP 3Wrap in baking parchment, tie with string and pop in the fridge weighted under something heavy (we used a hefty griddle pan). Leave for at least 1 hr (or overnight if you like). The flavours will mingle and the sandwich will flatten down, making it a doddle to cut up without all the ingredients falling out all over your picnic rug.
