These savory sandwiches can be prepared in advance and kept in the refrigerator. They are flavorful, and you may change the ingredients to suit your preferences.

| Additional Time: | 2 hrs |
| Total Time: | 2 hrs 10 mins |
| Servings: | 4 |
| Yield: | 4 sandwiches |
Ingredients
- 1 (14 ounce) can marinated artichoke hearts, drained
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 (6 inch) French sandwich rolls
- ¾ cup sliced roasted red peppers
- 2 cups arugula leaves or spring mix
- 8 ounces thinly sliced hard salami
- 8 ounces thinly sliced provolone cheese
- 4 pepperoncini peppers, drained and chopped (Optional)
- ½ cup sliced black olives (Optional)
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced (Optional)
Instructions
- In a food processor or blender, combine the artichoke hearts, garlic and olive oil. Process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the sandwich rolls in half lengthwise, and pull out most of the soft bread from the top and bottom. Spread the artichoke paste onto each side of each roll. Place layers of red peppers, arugula, salami, provolone cheese, pepperoncini, olives and onion into the rolls. Press sandwiches together, and wrap tightly in aluminum foil.
- Place sandwiches in the refrigerator, and place something heavy on top. It helps to place a plate on top, then place cans or any weighted containers on top. I used cottage cheese. Chill for up to 3 hours. Unwrap, cut in half and enjoy.

YUM! Great flavor profile & combination, my seniors gobbled this one up!
This is such a tasty recipe, love this sandwich ! But be careful you don’t want to breathe on anyone after you eat this.
Good but not out of this world. Don’t add salt (to the spread). Canned artichokes, salami and cheese are salty enough! Use arugula instead of spring mix. I used spring mix and my husband said, “you know what would make this taste good? Arugula.”
Will definitely make again. I didn’t have roasted red peppers so used sun dried tomatoes in their place. Can’t wait to use the peppers.
Amazing hero hot or cold. The artichoke spread is wonderful. So easy to boot. Thank you for the recipe.
Wow! So good! I made a couple of small changes- I left the soft bread and did not tear it out, and I served it warm. To serve warm, I wrapped each sandwich in foil and put it in the oven.
The flavors blend together so well. It tastes like a high-end deli sandwich.

Awesome COLD …and preferably wrapped in butcher paper. Great for picnics too!
These were very good even though the bottom of the bread was soggy (thats why I gave it only 4 stars)!! I didn’t see this problem with any other viewer. I used a crusty Italian loaf but might have taken out too much of the inside bread.
These were delicious! I needed a recipe to use up rucola, and this was a nice twist! I do not assemble and refrigerate them in advance. The first time I had fresh crispy bread and I wanted it to stay crispy 😉 and now I just assemble them just before eating. Or I just put all ingredients on the table and everyone assembles them as they like (using more or less of every ingredient to taste). Thanks for the great recipe!
Oh my gosh these were good! Everyone thought I bought them from the Italian deli down the street. Thanks for the awesome recipe!!
I served this at a bridal shower and everyone thought it was great. Instead of using a 6” sub I used a whole french bread and cut it into 5 mini sandwiches with a pick to hold it together and that seemed to be plenty with a side of pasta and a side of fruit. Everyone loved the artichoke garlic paste.
I made them for tailgating at the horse races and they we’re perfect – make ahead and just slice the sandwiches there with the wrapper on. Couldn’t be easier! That artichoke spread was awesome but it could have used more of it so next time I’ll double the artichokes.
Very good. I didn’t care for the roasted red peppers (personal taste), but otherwise, loved them.
My husband took these to a potluck for guys. He said they disappeared fast! I really liked the artichoke spread. Yummy!
