Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 large unsliced loaf of vegan sourdough vegan french bread
- 1/2 tub of vegan "sour cream"
- 2-3 cloves garlic
- pizza seasoning to taste
- Earth Balance spread (non-hydrogenated vegan margarine like spread)
- frozen spinach, thawed and well pressed
- thinly sliced red onion
- sliced mushrooms
- olives
- marinated artichoke hearts
- whatever other toppings you like
Directions:
In a food processor whizz together the sour cream substitute, garlic, pizza seasoning, and
half of the marinade from the artichoke hearts, until smooth and about the consistency of
ranch dressing (don't try using ranch dressing, I tried it, and rather than that nice
cheesy type flavor and rich sauce, it tasted like...well, hot ranch dressing), set aside.
Slice the loaf of vegan bread in half, and then split both halves through the middle. Spread
each piece with Earth Balance, and then a small amount of the Ranch type dressing. Top
with the spinach, and red onion, and drizzle with more sauce. Make a new layer of olives,
and mushrooms, and drizzle more sauce, and top with artichoke hearts and whatever else,
and you guessed it...drizzle with the remaining sauce.
Bake on a cookie sheet at 350: for 12-15 minutes, until the sauce forms a
brown "skin" over it.
I don't know what I did, but my husband SWORE there had to be cheese in the sauce, and now
gets all sparkly eyed when I say I'm making it :-)
