Receta Mediterranean Monday – Grilled Eggplant Sandwich
Filed in Mediterranean Food on October 13, 2014 with no comments
Grilling eggplant gives it a smoky, meaty flavor.
If you think you don’t like eggplant, this is the recipe to try. It also makes a satisfying Indian summer meal. Sliced eggplant, brushed with olive oil and grilled is entirely different from eggplant in other guises. It’s so good in fact, that even the little grandchildren love it. But I think it’s even better stuffed into a Mediterranean inspired sandwich. Another advantage? Grilling is my husband’s domain, giving me time to enjoy the kids while dinner cooks!
BTW – my daughter-in-law said this was the best eggplant she had ever had, even without the sandwich fixings.
We used the Artichoke Feta Spread from last week’s Mediterranean Monday, homemade tomato focaccia bread, and the last of the heirloom tomatoes from the garden. Luscious.
