Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 0.5 cup Marinated artichoke hearts (drained and roughly chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 rolls Ciabatta bread (or other crusty sandwich rolls)
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, chopped marinated artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the tuna artichoke filling.
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half horizontally and lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.
Layer the bottom half of each roll with a slice of provolone cheese, followed by half of the tuna artichoke filling, a handful of spinach leaves, and another slice of provolone cheese. Place the top half of the roll on each sandwich.
Heat a panini press or a large skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, place another heavy pan on top of the sandwiches to press them down.
Cook the panini for 3-4 minutes on each side (or in the panini press for 5-6 minutes total) or until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
Remove the panini from the heat, let them cool for 1 minute, then slice each sandwich in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
