DISH NO. 61: PRESS 195'S NO. 12 BY

August 30, 2010 - View actual article by clicking here

Welcome to 100 Dishes to Eat Now, Fork in the Road's handy list of some of our favorite dishes -- old standbys and new finds alike -- compiled daily.

Today's pick: The No. 12 ($8.50) at Press 195 (195 Fifth Avenue, Brooklyn, 718-857-1950).

"No. 12" is shorthand for a big exuberant mess of fontina, provolone, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and black bean hummus that's been piled between thick slabs of ciabatta and grilled until everything is fused together in gooey harmony.

 

As sandwich fillings go, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, and cheese aren't particularly novel, but what makes the No. 12 so memorable is the black bean hummus, which adds earthy depth to the tang of the 'chokes, softens the salinity of the tomatoes, and cuts through the gloriously fatty morass of the cheese.

 

The ciabatta, too, lives up to the standards of its fillings, thanks to its crunchy crust and pillowy innards. And while the pickles that accompany the panino are a little on the sweet side, they provide a refreshing counterpoint to the savory onslaught.
