• Preheat an outdoor grill for cooking over medium-high heat.
• Brush the cut-side of each baguette half generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill until charred and nicely toasted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Grill the soppressata until it blisters and curls slightly, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Rub the cut-side of the garlic halves over the cut-side of the grilled bread. Then do the same with the tomato halves, pressing firmly until only the tomato skins are left.
• Cut both the grilled soppressata and tomato skins into bite-size pieces and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the, mint, parsley, vinegar, remaining tablespoon olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and toss to combine. Cut each bread half on a bias into 6 even pieces. Top each piece of grilled bread with the tomato-soppressata mixture.

GRILLED BREAD WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill with medium-hot coals or turn a gas grill to medium-high heat.
• Grill the bread for 2 minutes, until golden on one side. Place the bread grilled side up on a platter and immediately rub the cut side of the garlic clove over the surface of the bread. For really garlicky fettunta, rub hard. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over each slice of bread.
• Place the torn prosciutto over the grilled side of the bread and top with the grated mozzarella. Return the bread to the hot grill, cover the grill, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes-just long enough to melt the cheese and rewarm the toast. (Be sure the vent is open so the fire doesn't go out!) Drizzle with a little more olive oil, sprinkle with parsley, salt, and pepper, and serve hot.
