I almost called this the "Everything I Bought at the Farmer's Market Sandwich" because that's exactly what it is. I really don't have a recipe per se for it. I had bought Japanese eggplant, red bell pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, and basil, as well as a fresh pesto, an olive tapenade, and a feta and sundried tomato mixutre. My intention was to grill the veggies, but I couldn't find where I'd stored my seldom used grill pan, so I cut my pepper into long strips, and cut all the squash and eggplant on the bias (cut at a steep angle to make the slices larger (you can google bias cut vegetables) took my nonstick wok pan and heated it to blazing hot and added a tablespoon or so of extra virgin olive oil. First I cooked my peppers and eggplant, then my zucchini separately to avoid overcrowding and steaming. I let the veggies brown on one side then gave them a toss, and browned the other side.
I had also bought fresh ciabatta bread at the farmer's market which I sliced open, and put pesto on the bottom half, and olive tapenade on the top half. I layered all my cooked veggies, and sprinkled on the feta and sun-dried tomatoes, and some fresh basil. This sandwich was SO GOOD! I'm tempted to make it for dinner every Saturday after Farmer's Market!!!
