How to Make Artichoke And Basil Hero Sandwich
- **Make the Basil-Parmesan Mixture:** In a blender or food processor, combine 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons capers (drained), 1 tablespoon wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 2 cloves garlic. Process until almost smooth.
- **Chill:** Cover and refrigerate the basil mixture for 8-24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- **Prepare the Hero Rolls:** Cut the hero roll in half lengthwise.
- **Hollow Out:** Gently hollow out the bread slightly, creating space for the filling. (Optional: Lightly toast the bread halves).
- **Assemble the Sandwich:** Spread the chilled basil mixture evenly over both halves of the hero roll. Layer marinated artichoke hearts (1 cup, drained), 4 slices provolone cheese, 1/2 cup sliced tomato, and 1 cup fresh spinach over the basil mixture on one roll half.
- **Complete the Sandwich:** Top with the other bread half.
- **Slice & Serve:** Cut the sandwich crosswise into 6-8 pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy!
- (Optional) Add 4-6 oz of your favorite Italian-style cold cuts to the sandwich for extra protein!
