Ingredients

Scale

Artichoke Filling

  • 1 can (400g) artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tbsp capers or chopped pickles (optional)
  • Small handful fresh parsley, chopped
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Assembly

  • Country bread, whole wheat bread, or ciabatta
  • Lettuce or arugula leaves
  • Optional cheese (feta, mozzarella, or provolone)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Artichoke Filling: In a bowl, combine the roughly chopped artichoke hearts, mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, finely chopped shallot, celery if using, capers or chopped pickles if using, chopped fresh parsley, and lemon juice. Mix well to blend all the flavors together. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and adjust lemon juice as desired for tanginess.
  2. Assemble Sandwiches: Lightly toast your choice of bread slices if preferred for added texture and warmth. Spread the artichoke herb mixture evenly on one slice of bread. Layer with fresh lettuce or arugula leaves and, if using, add slices of your selected cheese such as feta, mozzarella, or provolone. Top with the second slice of bread to complete the sandwich.
  3. Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half for easier eating if you like. Serve immediately with a side salad, homemade chips, or your favorite accompaniments, enjoying fresh and flavorful bites.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • Celery and capers add crunch and tang but can be omitted if preferred.
  • To enhance flavors, allow the artichoke filling to chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before assembling.
  • Choose whole wheat or country bread for a healthier, rustic option.
  • Optional cheese adds a creamy texture and complements the herbs and artichokes well.
