Roasted Vegetable Sandwich

Roasted Vegetable Sandwich

 

 

1 C. canned (in water) artichoke hearts, drained

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1 T. olive oil, preferably extra virgin

1 tsp. minced garlic

1 tsp. white wine vinegar

1/4 tsp. salt

Ground black pepper

 

2 portobello mushroom caps

1 zucchini, cut in 3″ segments, then sliced lengthwise

1 medium tomato, sliced

2 crusty multigrain rolls (4 ounces each), insides scooped out, or 2 slices whole grain bread

2 ounces fresh goat cheese

2 T. artichoke tapenade

 

To make the tapenade: In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine the artichokes, lemon juice, oil, garlic, vinegar, and salt. Pulse about 8 times, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, or until the mixture is spreadable. Season to taste with pepper. Use a T. of tapenade per sandwich, retaining rest for another purpose. To make the sandwich: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange the mushrooms and zucchini on a nonstick baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes. Arrange the tomato slices on the same baking sheet and continue roasting, flipping the vegetables halfway through cooking, for 20 minutes, or until sizzling and any liquid is cooked away. Divide the sandwich fillings between the rolls, layering the mushrooms, then zucchini, cheese, tomato, and tapenade.
