Ingredients

    1 Fresh Eggplant, cut into 1/2" slices
    Coarse Salt
    1 Red Bell Pepper, cut into rings
    1 Zucchini, cut lengthwise
    2 Portabella mushrooms
    Handfull of Basil
    2T Olive Oil
    2T Balsamic Vinegar
    1/2 # Fresh mozzerella
    1 pound Ciabatta loaf

Directions

Sprinkle salt on eggplant slices and let drain for 30 minutes. Combine all vegetables, olive oil and vinegar in a bowl and let sit as long as overnight.

You can broil the lot for 5-10 minutes or you can grill them. I used to wrap the veggies in foil and grill 10 minutes, but I recently found a gadget that looks like a cage (this is why my pieces are fairly large) that sits on the grill and gives the veggies more color and grilled flavor.

Slice the bread in half (this s great way to try all those beautiful bakery breads) and lay slices of the cheese on the bottom. Sprinkle your veggies over the cheese and cover with the top of the bread.

You can wrap this in foil and weigh it down with a skillet for a few minutes, or you can grill the entire sandwich.

Makes 6 hefty servings.

The recipe is more a guideline--you can add whichever veggies and seasonings you like, or even tufu! It's fun to make smaller versions to bring to a BYOMeat party.
