SICILIAN EGGPLANT SANDWICH

SICILIAN EGGPLANT SANDWICH

The story behind this dish is one for the records: I was backpacking through Sicily when I was invited to a beach party in Cefalú and they served me this sandwich. The original recipe was breaded eggplant, filled with mint, and cooked on the BBQ — the idea to make it into a sandwich brought it to a whole other level. Think of an Italian croque-monsieur, senza il pane.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with the olive oil. Then coat with the breadcrumbs. 
  2. Preheat the barbecue to medium-high heat. Once ready, grill the breaded eggplant slices until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Once all the slices are cooked, set aside.
  3. Place 2 slices each of the Provolone and prosciutto cotto between 2 slices of the eggplant, creating a sandwich.
  4. Meanwhile heat the tomato basil sauce.
  5. Cut each sandwich in half and and put 60 ml (1/4 cup) of tomato sauce on each plate. Place the sandwich on top and serve.
