I have a confession to make. It isn't one that I am terribly proud of... not even one that I will admit to if you ask me about it in the real world. But, this is cyberspace. Anything goes, right? Having said that, here is my deep dark secret. I *bleeping* LOVE vegetable shopping. It's true. I do! I LOVE going on weekends, where I don't really have to worry about going home early to cook or think about any pending work that I might have on that day. It is bad, people. Ask me if I want to go out on a hike or do some kayaking and I will say 'Nope, just drop me off at your nearest Shoprite.' It is crazy, I have never admitted this to anyone before, not even to myself! Nonetheless, it is true. I have been thoroughly domesticated.
This week was a good one for me, produce-wise. I got a whole bunch of zucchinis, Japanese eggplant and some gorgeous peaches. I also lucked out and got my new FAVORITE green: Baby Arugula! I decided to put it all to good use today and made myself a delicious sandwich with a refreshing side salad.
Grill these veggies in a grill pan or even a skillet. Assemble the sandwich on a bread of your choice with some lettuce and feta cheese. That's that!
Ingredients:
4 slices of bread of your choice - toasted slightly
1 zucchini
1/2 onion
2 slices of Japanese Eggplant
2 leaves of butter lettuce
1 tbsp feta cheese
1/4th of orange peppers
1 tsp red chili pepper flakes
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp olive oil
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
This recipe serves 2
- Slice your vegetables as shows in the picture and place them in a bowl with about a tsp of olive oil. Add the salt, pepper, red chili pepper flakes and oregano. Mix until the vegetables are well coated with the seasoning.
- Heat a tsp of olive oil on a skillet or the grill. Grill the veggies until they are well cooked and tender cooked on both sides.
- Separate the two slices of bread and start assembling the sandwich. On one slice, place the lettuce topped with the grilled veggies. On the other slice, place a generous amount of feta cheese.
- Finally, press the two slices together and enjoy with a side of Arugula and Peach salad!
