Ingredients
- 2 baguettes, halved across, split and some of the soft insides removed
- 4 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 2 rounded tablespoons spicy mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it
- 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 8 portobello mushroom caps, stems removed and wiped clean with damp cloth
- Coarse salt and coarse black pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley, a generous handful
- 6 cups, a package, deveined triple washed spinach, coarsely chopped
- 3/4 pound manchego cheese (common Spanish sharp table cheese, available in the specialty cheese case) thinly sliced or sharp cheddar may be substituted
- 4 piquillo peppers, pimientos or roasted red peppers, patted dry and cut into strips
Instructions
- Preheat a grill pan to medium high heat or prepare outdoor grill.
- Turn the oven on moderate heat. Place the hollowed bread in oven to crisp, 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together sherry vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, extra-virgin olive oil and garlic. Place mushrooms in a shallow dish and pour marinade over the caps. Turn caps in marinade and season with salt and pepper. Let stand 10 minutes. Prep your parsley and spinach.
- Grill mushrooms 4 to 5 minutes on each side and remove to a cutting board a few at a time. Thinly slice the mushrooms and transfer back to the dish you marinated them in and add parsley and spinach as you go, layering hot mushrooms with the herb and greens. Once all the hot sliced mushrooms combine with the spinach, the greens will wilt up a bit. Toss the salad and adjust the salt and pepper, to your taste.
- Pile the salad into crispy bread and top with manchego cheese and red peppers of choice then set bread tops in place.

Reviews
I marinade and grill the mushrooms as written and then serve them either over salad or over grilled polenta. Good
we followed Rachel’s advice and took these on a long hike. Wrapped up in foil in our backpacks, they were scrumptious- the bread had absorbed the dressing, the spinach had wilted, the cheese ever so slightly melted, nice and dirty and drippy, perfect for eating outdoors! YUM!
Thanks for creating this meatless sandwich that holds up for picnics. Its refreshing to see a veggie recipe that isnt pasta or a casserole with alot of flavor.
My whole family loves this recipe! Even my picky brother.
It is very, very good!
It is very, very good!
…but I won’t be making it again. The smell of the marinade and the mushrooms while they were grilling was amazing, but I didn’t like the flavors combined with the spinach and the peppers. First time I’ve used manchego cheese and both my husband and I really liked it, so I’ll be trying more recipes using manchego. I LOVE mushrooms and was really hoping this would be better. I’ll keep trying more of Rachael’s recipes, however.
i sautee the mushrooms and i use mozzarella instead…totally good
The mushrooms were very very very tasty. I had to use sharp cheddar because my stores didn’t carry Manchego. I will make again and again!
I made these subs for an indoor picnic on a rainy day, and they were a huge hit! It took much longer than half an hour for me to prepare, though.
My roommates and I made several of these and had them piping hot from the oven…delicious! We had extra and they were even better the next day, more flavorful and chilled. Would definately make again.
This was a delicious salad/sandwich.
Definetly a keeper and sure to please many people.
