Wine & Golf
Mirassou Winery is a proud sponsor of LPGA events. We believe that one good round deserves another so the Mirassou Sun Room (pictured above) travels to many tournaments allowing golfers to enjoy Mirassou after a successful day on the course.

Vegetable, Pesto and Smoked Mozzarella Panini
Prep time: 15 minutes.
Cook time: 30 minutes total.
- 8 large, thin slices portabella mushroom
- 8 very thin slices red onion
- 4 very thin lengthwise slices zucchini, halved
- 4 large, very thin slices peeled eggplant
- Olive oil and garlic salt
- 4 large strips roasted red pepper (about the size of the sandwich)
- 8 slices grainy bread, sliced 3/4-inch thick
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- 6 oz. smoked mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
Brush mushrooms, onions, zucchini and eggplant lightly with olive oil. Cook in a large skillet (in batches) over medium-high heat for a few minutes on each side to lightly brown. Remove from skillet and sprinkle with garlic salt; set aside. Spread one side of 4 bread slices with pesto. Top with half the cheese, equal amounts of vegetables and the remaining cheese. Brush bread lightly with olive oil and cook in a panini press for about 5 minutes or until bread is golden and cheese is melted.
Recipe tip: No panini press? Place sandwiches in a large skillet over medium heat. Press down with a large plate to compress sandwich and cook for 5 minutes. Turn and repeat.
