...about my blog. The past several weeks have been somewhat of a soul-searching time for me. I still don't have the answers but I do have a few blog posts swimming around in my head. My problem is that I don't type nearly as fast as I talk or think so I tend to lose track of my thoughts before getting them down. After telling Matt of my dilemma he has given me some suggestions for organizing my thoughts so I'm hoping to get those posts written and some posted soon. In the mean time here's a yummy sandwich that I came up with this week.
It all started with a craving for a Turkey Artichoke panini from Panera bread. Since it's rather inconvenient to go to the closest Panera bread I decided to try and come up with something similar at home. While not the same it was nevertheless very tasty.
Turkey, Artichoke & Tomato-Pesto sandwich:
1TB sun dried tomato pesto
1TB mayo
3-4 canned artichoke hearts drained and smooshed
1 slice cheese of choice*
2 slices turkey breast
1 foccacia roll sliced in half
Mix together pesto, mayo and artichoke hearts. Divide evenly between pieces of foccacia and spread. top with 1/2 slice cheese, turkey, 1/2 slice cheese and other side of bread. Heat cast iron skillet over medium heat, place in skillet and weight down with another skillet (I also added a large, heavy can on top for added weight/pressure). Cook until toasted, turn and cook until second side is toasted.
Simple, easy and very yummy. The basic technique can be used for any type of sandwich.
*I used American cheese since that is what I had on hand. Also feel free to use more cheese, I need to limit my dairy intake so one slice was fine for me.
