Introduction

Adapted from a recipe published by the Canadian Press. This vegetarian sandwich is tremendously versatile; if you don't have eggplant, simply substitute long slices of zucchini or try using some sauteed mushrooms or carmelized onions. It's also divine if you substitute sundried pesto or tapenade for the basil pesto. Adapted from a recipe published by the Canadian Press.
