Ingredients

1 loaf crusty bread, 9 to 12 inches in length
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, drained, chopped -- 1/2 a small jar
1/4 cup black pitted calamata or oil cured olives, your preference, chopped
1/2 cup prepared pesto sauce
1/4 pound deli sliced provolone
1 jar, 16 to 18 roasted red peppers, drained
1 (15-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts in water, drained
1 cup giardiniera, pickled vegetables (hot pickled peppers, cauliflower, carrots available on the Italian foods aisle of market or in bulk bins near deli section with bulk olives)
Coarse salt and black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Directions

Cut the top off a loaf of crusty bread. Hollow out the inside of the bread.

Mix chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped olives and store bought or homemade pesto sauce. Spread the mixture evenly across the bottom of the hollowed out bread. Layer the cheese into the loaf. Layer the roasted red peppers on top of the cheese. Coarsely chop the drained artichoke hearts and add them in a layer over the red peppers. Sprinkle in the chopped hot pickled vegetables and drizzle some extra-virgin olive oil on top. Replace the top, cut the stuffed loaf into pieces and serve.

Nice Surprise
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I wasn't at all sure about this recipe, but I know an Italian who loves antipasto, so... What a nice surprise. I wouldn't... say this is an inexpensive sandwich unless you have the ingredients lying around, but it's worth it. The tangy bite of the pickeled vegetables with the smoothness of the cheese and earthiness of the bread...what a neat combination. When Rachel says to scoop out the bread, she's not kidding. The ingredients can really pile up. Next time I think I'll try a sandwich press as well. And as other reviewers have noted, this was just as good the next day.Read more

Loved It!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

DH and I felt like "cocooning" this weekend, watching movies and relaxing. I saw this recipe, and, since we had everything on... hand, decided to try it. It took us about 10 minutes to put this together! DH kept asking what kind of sauce we were going to use (He loved sauces!) since he felt the pesto might not be enough. I persuaded him to try it "as is" the first time. The only change we made was to add some chopped baby spinach to make it taste really fresh and add some more nutrition. He LOVED it! All through the movie, he kept muttering, "Man, that was great!" We've added this to our "Easy, Yummy Pizza-Free Friday-Night Dinners" rotation, along with Nacho Bread Pizzas and Open Face Calzonis. Thanks, Rachael!Read more

Mix & Match Too

I made this and it was a hit with the family. I left out some of the veggies due to personal taste and added pepperoni for a... meat sandwhich. Very delicious and easy!Read more

This was a quick and easy recipe. Took about 10 minutes to put together. The pesto and olive oil you add will eventually... make the bread soggy. We popped it in the toaster oven the following day , problem solved, it was even better for lunch the following day!Read more
