Easy Bistro Artichoke Sandwich --- Vegetarian Too!

"There are many variations of this sandwich in California. This is a great lunch or easy dinner. French Rolls are found in the bread aisle and crisp up better than other breads. This recipe uses the hoagie sized roll. Very tasty! I believe that the people of Castroville, CA get credit for this one!"

  1. I've made these a few times and here's how I cater it to my needs. I use a red onion and any kind of bread I feel like or have on hand. I find it best to put olive oil on the bread and to lightly toast it on both sides before adding the toppings. This recipe is very adjustable to what toppings you prefer! I've used sliced Portabella mushrooms and chopped black olives during cooking, and added sliced cucumber after cooking. Super easy to make for a dinner or lunch.
     
  2. This was a fantastic sandwich! My husband thought he would still be hungry after eating it but it was quite filling. I do not like sandwich meat so eat a lot of PB&J at lunchtime. Will for sure be making this often, thanks!
     
  3. mmmmm....yum. I'm eating this right now. I had multigrain rolls on hand ("stale! Darn. We'll have to toss them," said my husband.) and some cheese that is a cross between Swiss and American I can't wait until my husband tastes his "stale" sandwich! :) Being a Californiagirl myself, I can say unequivically that if I were served this sandwich at a Bistro, I would be very pleased. I would also easily pay TONS of money for it. It was easy to make, and with a bit of Djion mustard it really hit the spot. Thanks!
     
  4. This was wonderful. I added some Veganaise mayo. Really hit the spot. Will make often. Being a vegetarian I'm always looking for a new recipe with veggies.

I am a transplant to the Deep South from the Great State of Iowa. I am a housewife who loves to go cook, backpack, and garden. There are three gardens at my house and I enjoy tending to them all. There is something spectacular about growing your own food. My favorite cookbook would have to be "The Joy of Cooking." Whenever I need to know the basics of a recipe or skill I check there. Other than that I love to read recipes wherever I can find them and have a very creative mind. I have a degree in English and spend large amounts of my time reading and writing, yet...I love to cook. :)
