Margaret Wilson of Hemet, California makes a Greek-style sandwich by spreading a loaf of bread with hummus, veggies, seasonings and feta cheese. With plenty of garden-fresh flavors and a hearty bean spread that packs protein, this stacked submarine makes a satisfying meal-in-one.
Ingredients:
hummus:
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
sandwich:
1 loaf (8 ounces) unsliced french bread
2 medium sweet red peppers, cut into thin strips
1/2 medium cucumber, sliced
2 small tomatoes, sliced
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/4 cup chopped ripe olives
1/4 cup chopped pimiento-stuffed olives
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
4 lettuce leaves
Directions:
1. For hummus, in a food processor, combine the lemon juice, oil and beans; cover and process until smooth. Stir in the garlic, oregano, salt and pepper.
2. Slice bread in half horizontally. Carefully hollow out bottom half, leaving a 1/2-in. shell. Spread hummus into shell. Layer with the red peppers, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, olives, cheese and lettuce. Replace bread top. Cut into four portions. Yield: 4 servings.
