As a vegetarian recipe, this does not fall into the '70s nut loaf category! That is a good thing. Much tastier than the old nut loaf but I felt the sun-dried tomatoes were too much of a good thing. I also felt that the artichokes were wasted in this dish since you couldn't taste or identify them. I would make this again but cut down on the tomatoes, leave out the artichoke and increase the spinach (was it supposed to be a cup of chopped fresh spinach?) . It's a good looking recipe and I think would satisfy meat-lovers too. They wouldn't even know that there was no meat. The creamy mango chutney was superb! not in the instructions: I buttered three sheets of phyllo and then cut into 4 strips so the yield is 12 triangles. Also I added the bread at the same time as the spinach. I used very small peppers and it still made a lot of filling so I tried to cram as much as I could into each triangle.
