Saturday Night In The Prime Of Life

Serves:

Ingredients:

2 sl Bread, rye
2 sl Cheese, provolone, smoked
2 sl Cheese, provolone, aged
1/4 lb Mushrooms, fresh; sliced
Onions, green; sliced
Tomatoes, sun-dried
Pesto

Method:

Toast the bread.
Place a generous slice or two of one of the cheeses on the bread.
Place sliced mushrooms on the cheese, top of with a few slices of the _other_ cheese (this way when you melt it the mushrooms get melted between the cheeses, yum).
Top that off with heaping spoonfuls of pesto (and for goshsakes make your own; don't even dare use bottled pesto or, worse yet, pesto mix) and heaping spoonfuls of marinated sun-dried tomatoes (and don't use bottled marinated sun-dried tomatoes--buy 'em dried, reconstitute them a bit in boiling water, then toss them and some olive oil in a food processor and chop them up well.
Mmmm.
) Top it off with chopped green onions.
Stick it in the broiler or microwave or whatever to melt the cheese.
Eat and enjoy.
Gregory's comments: Absolutely one of the best sandwiches ever, and positively _the_ best vegetarian sandwich in the world.
