Copycat recipe for Potbelly's Mediterranean sandwich. I am counting one serving as two halves of a round pita. Depending on size of pitas, this recipe will make 2-3 servings.
Serves: 3
Ingredients
  • ½ cup artichoke hearts, drained from a jar
  • 2 roasted red peppers, drained from a jar
  • ½ cup roughly chopped cucumber
  • ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2-3 tablespoons hummus (any flavor you like)
  • 2-3 pita pocket rounds (size depends on how many sandwiches you get)
Instructions
  1. Preparation note: If you haven't already prepared the cucumbers, chop them now. I cut the whole cucumber lengthwise in quarters. Then I chopped along those quarters and made tiny little wedges. (As if you cut coins of cucumbers then cut those circles into quarters) However, shape doesn't really matter, it just needs to be easy to stuff in your sandwich.
  2. Cut the roasted red peppers into slices. Again, size isn't so important, just medium length slices that can easily be stuffed into a sandwich.
  3. Scoop the artichokes out of the jar and let excess oil or water drain off. You can pat them with a paper towel if you want them especially dry. Put the artichokes in a small bowl.
  4. Add the chopped cucumber, sliced roasted red peppers, and feta cheese to the small bowl with the artichokes.
  5. Mix the sandwich ingredients until things are mixed up and a little cheese looks like it's gotten stuck to everything.
  6. Cut the pita rounds in half and open the pita pockets. Using a knife generously spread hummus inside each half of the pita pocket. You don't have to measure, but about 1 teaspoon should do. If you like more, do more. [Note: If you make sandwiches from 3 pita rounds, then you'll use a total of 1 tablespoon of hummus]
  7. Fill the pita pockets with your mixed sandwich ingredients. Depending on how much you fill and the size of your pita pockets, you'll have about 2-3 sandwiches.
  8. Serve the sandwiches on a plate. Spoon a large dollop of hummus on the edge of the plate. Use this for dipping your sandwich or any vegetables that fall out. The more hummus the better!
