Grilled Eggplant Sandwich

 

Recipe By :Amy Lanou

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Appetizers

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 medium eggplant

(or 2 small zucchini)

1 tablespoon soy sauce -- (1 to 2)

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

8 slices whole grain bread -- (large, thick)

(or your favorite bread)

1 roasted red pepper -- sliced

1 large roasted garlic bulb

4 teaspoons dijon mustard (optional)

4 leaves red leaf lettuce

 

1. Slice eggplant on the diagonal in 1/4-inch slices. Brush with soy sauce and

grill on a stove-top grill or seasoned iron skillet over medium high heat for

2-4 minutes on each side until it is soft and slightly browned. Remove from pan

and sprinkle with vinegar. Set aside.

 

2. Toast bread, if desired and spread 2-4 cloves of garlic on botton slice, add

a layer of grilled eggplant folding the softened pieces to fit on the bread

slice. Top with slices of roasted red pepper and lettuce. Spread the top slice

of bread with mustard, if desired, then complete the sandwich and serve.

 

TIP - If you do not have a stove top grill or a seasoned skillet, you may need

to brush your skillet with olive oil to prevent the eggplant from sticking while

it cooks.

TIP - Red wine vinegar may be substituted for the sweeter more flavorful

balsamic vinegar if necessary.
