Additional Information
- Variation
Hot and Spicy Tuna Melt Panini: Replace marinated artichoke hearts with 1 tsp (5 mL) minced jalapeño pepper and 1/2 tsp (2 mL) chili powder. Replace lemon juice with lime juice. Replace provolone cheese with Monterey Jack cheese with hot peppers.
Tip: Marinated artichoke hearts and other antipasto items from the deli section, such as roasted red peppers, mushrooms and eggplant, are a quick and inexpensive way to add flavour to sandwiches, pastas and salads, because you can buy only what you need.
