 Portobello Sandwich Wedges with Sundried Tomatoes

 

Great vegetarian sandwich with loads of flavor...
 

1 large 

 

loaf of round sourdough bread

 

1 Tbs 

 

red wine vinegar

 

2 Tbs 

 

extra virgin olive oil

 

2 tsp 

 

dijon mustard

 

¼ tsp 

 

granulated sugar

 

 

 

salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

 

6 oz 

 

fresh portobello mushroom caps, cleaned and patted dry

 

1 cup 

 

torn red leaf lettuce leaves

 

¼ cup 

 

chopped sundried tomatoes in oil, drained

 

2 oz

1 small 

 

sweet onion, sliced thinly

 

 

1

Preheat broiler

2

Slice off the top third of the sourdough loaf and set aside.

3

Pull out the soft bread inside the large loaf, leaving just a 1" shell around edges and bottom. Discard soft bread, or set aside to make bread crumbs for another use.

4

In a small bowl, combine vinegar, oil, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper; whisk together until smooth. Brush half of this mixture evenly over the tops of the mushroom caps. Broil the mushrooms 5" from heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

5

Brush remaining sauce over inside of the bread loaf. Layer lettuce on bottom and up the sides of the loaf. Layer evenly with sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, onion, tomato and cheese. Broil this portion of the bread until cheese melts on top, about 5 minutes.

6

Replace top on loaf and press down firmly. Carefully cut into wedges and serve immediately.

 

Yield: 6 wedges
