I think it's time. Time to get rid of this Everyday Food - Fresh Flavor Fast cookbook. I've had it for many years and now that I've made several recipes from it and not been impressed with ANY of them, I think it's time this goes in the donation bin. Sorry! All of the recipes have just been super blah. Nothing to them. I mean, sure, they are fast, and they are fresh, but if it tastes like cardboard, do I care?
All that preamble to say, we weren't fans of this recipe. Take a look at it and let me know if you can think of any genius ways to make it amazing, but yeah. I'm not hopeful.
Sandwich
- 8 thick slices country bread
- artichoke basil spread (recipe below)
- 4 oz fontina cheese, thinly sliced
- 1/2 bunch spinach, trimmed, washed well, and dried
- 4 oz hard salami, thinly sliced
Spread
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts in water, drained and quartered
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
For spread: in a food processor, combine artichokes, basil, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes; pulse until smooth. Season with salt and pepper; pulse just to combine.
Dividing evenly, top each slide of bread with artichoke-basil spread; layer half the bread slices with cheese, spinach, and salami. Top with remaining bread and serve.
NOTES: Spread can be refrigerated up to 3 days in an airtight container. Makes 1 cup.
Serves 4
Total Time: 10 minutes
