1 | eggplant |
2 | sweet red peppers |
2 tbsp (25 mL) | extra-virgin olive oil |
2 | cloves garlic, minced |
1/4 tsp (1 mL) | each salt and pepper |
4 | soft panini (Italian) buns |
2 tsp (10 mL) | hot or Dijon mustard |
12 | whole fresh basil leaves |
4 oz (125 g) | provolone cheese, thinly sliced |
Directions
1. Trim ends off eggplant. Cut eggplant into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices; place in bowl. Core, seed and cut red peppers into quarters; add to bowl. Add oil, garlic, salt and pepper; toss to coat. 2. Place vegetables on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning vegetables once, until tender, about 10 minutes. 3. Cut buns in half horizontally; spread cut sides of bottoms with mustard. Divide eggplant and peppers among bottoms; top with basil leaves, cheese and tops of buns. 4. Place sandwiches on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, pressing often to flatten and turning once, until buns are crusty and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Tip: If you can't find panini buns, look for other oval, flat-type buns, such as Portuguese buns. Makes 4 servings.
