Baguette with Roasted Red Pepper Spread
Vegetarian Times Issue: May 1, 2009 p.50
This colorful spread is a fancy, vegan version of pimiento cheese. Slipping cucumber between the filling and the lettuce helps keep the greens from wilting en route to your destination.
Directions
1. Combine roasted red peppers, cream cheese, onion, and garlic in bowl.
2. Cut each baguette into 3 6-inch pieces. Halve each piece lengthwise. Tear out some of center from bread to make space for fillings.
3. Spread cream cheese mixture on bottom halves of bread. Top with cucumber, lettuce, and radicchio, and cover with top half of bread.

Really good recipe! I was very casual with the proportion of garlic and onions, using more garlic and onion than was called for. I also used regular cream cheese (vegan can be difficult to find), and it was very good.
