METHOD

The shallots should be finely diced. Sweat the shallots in 2 tablespoons oil in a cast-iron frying pan over indirect heat for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms to the shallots after they've been sliced. Allow for a further 2 minutes to soften.

Chop the spinach coarsely, mince the garlic, and cut the tomatoes in half. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, after adding all of the ingredients to the pan.

Cut the mozzarella into slices. Brush the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil on four slices of bread and top with the spinach mixture, mozzarella slices, and 1 tablespoon pickles, then top with the remaining slices of bread.

Grill the sandwiches for 3 minutes on each side over direct heat, then place them over indirect heat for 8 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

RECIPE NOTES

You can prepare the spinach mixture ahead of time in the kitchen, so the sandwiches will only take a few minutes to prepare before grilling.
