Sandwich Provencal

Ciabatta bread stuffed with a scramble, chopped chickpeas, tomato, red pepper, fennel, & olives, with a creamy mustard dressing

Short history: Ciabatta bread was created in 1982 by Arnaldo Cavallari. Its full name is ciabatta polesana, after the region that Cavallari lived in – Polesine, Italy. Apparently, he and other Italian bakers were worried about the amount of sandwiches being made in Italy using French baguettes, and so they started making Italian alternatives. The chickpeas provide protein, antioxidants, vitamins (A, C, K), and potassium.
