Vegetarian Hoagie Sandwich

Recipe by Cook's Hideout

Blogging Marathon# 50: Week 1/ Day 1 Theme: American Sandwiches Dish: Hoagie Sandwich We are starting a brand new edition of blogging marathon today and my theme for this week is 'American Sandwiches'. Didn't realize that there are around 70-80 different types of sandwiches in the US until I saw the list of sandwiches on Wiki that Valli shared with us. More than 90% of these are meat based, so after carefully looking through all my options, I picked 3 sandwiches that were vegetarian and those we knew I would be making again and again.

Ingredients

• 4 (1.25l) fish stock ((or 16~20" long Wholewheat Italian or French baguette, cut into 4 equal lengths) Hoagie Rolls (Long Sandwich Rolls))
• 1 red onion (- medium, thinly sliced into rings)
• 1 oz 14 Artichoke Hearts (- ., can, rinsed, drained and cut into quarters)
• 1 tomato (- medium, seeded and diced)
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp oregano (Dried)
• 4 provolone Cheese (- slices)
• 2 cups lettuce (- , shredded)
• ¼ cup (1.25l) fish stock (Pepperoncini - , sliced)
• 3 tbsp mayonnaise (- (I mixed some roasted garlic with the mayo))

Method

1. Place the sliced onions in a small bowl and cover them with cold water. Set them aside, while you prep the other ingredients.
2. Combine artichoke, tomato, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, dried oregano, salt & pepper. Mix well. Drain the onions and pat dry.
3. Pull out some of the soft bread from the middle of the bread. Spread the mayo on both sides of the bread.
4. To assemble the sandwiches: Place 1 cheese slice on the bottom of the bread. Spread the artichoke mixture and then top it with onion, lettuce and pepperoncini (if using). Cover with the bread tops. Serve right away!!
