Aubergine and Mozzarella Sandwiches: Classic British recipe for a barbecue dish of marinated aubergine (eggplant) slices that are barbecued, sandwiched with Mozzarella cheese and sun-dried tomatoes before being cooked on the barbecue again and served with ciabatta bread and salad leaves.
Ingredients:
1 large aubergine (eggplant)
1 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp olive oil
125g Mozzarella cheese, grated
2 sun-dried tomatoes
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
ciabatta bread, to accompany
mixed salad leaves, to accompany
tomato slices, to accompany
Method:
Trim the ends of the aubergine (eggplant), then slice into thin rounds.
Combine the lemon juice and olive oil in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, then whisk to combine before using to brush the aubergine slices.
Sit on the oiled rack of a barbecue set over medium-hot coals and cook for about 3 minutes, until golden brown and nicely marked on the underside. At this point flip half the aubergine slices over and sprinkle the cheese and sun-dried tomatoes on the top.
Now set the remaining aubergine slices (the ones that were not turned over) on top of the cheese mixture (ensure that you turn them so that the cooked side is uppermost first).
Barbecue for about 2 minutes, then carefully turn the sandwich over and cook for about 90 seconds on the other side (brush with any left-over oil mixture).
Serve the aubergine sandwiches accompanied by toasted ciabatta bread, a mix of salad leaves and sliced tomatoes.
