Toasted Artichoke Sandwiches

Mmm. I only made one substitution. Do your best to get all the specific ingredients it calls for because this was super yummy.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 ounces) water-packed artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained and chopped
  • 1 large jarred roasted red pepper, julienned
  • 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil)
  • 8 slices Italian bread (1/2 inch thick)
  • 8 spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened

Directions

  • In a large skillet, saute the onion in oil until tender; add artichokes and peppers and cook until soft and hot. Stir in cheese. Remove from the heat.
  • In a food processor, combine mayonnaise and tomatoes; cover and process until finely chopped.
  • Spread four bread slices with half of the mayonnaise mixture; layer with a spinach leaf, artichoke mixture and remaining spinach. Spread remaining bread with mayonnaise mixture; place on top. Butter outsides of sandwiches.
  • On a griddle, toast sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side or until bread is lightly browned. Yield: 4 servings.
