Roasted Red Pepper Subs

Manami's Note:

When the occasion calls for a sophisticated sandwich, simply layer roasted red peppers, olive paste, goat cheese and peppery arugula on a crusty baguette. Found it when I was rummaging through some "old" recipes in EatingWell Magazine, January/February 1998. We enjoyed them thoroughly!

This was pretty good! It seemed like it was missing something, so I made a note to add grilled portabello mushroom strips to these next time. I will most likely make these again, as it's not your normal, boring vegie sub!
