Grilled vegetable pesto sandwich

November 1, 2014 By Manjooo M Leave a Comment

I started loving pesto after my visit to Lavonne cafe in Banaglore. I like the vegetable sandwich there..That is the inspiration behind making this sandwich at home..

For pesto you need,

  • Fresh basil leaves – 1 cup
  • Toasted pine nuts – 3 tbsp
  • Garlic cloves – 1 big clove
  • Salt – 1/4 teaspoon
  • Green chilies – 2
  • Olive oil – approx 1/4 cup
  • Grated Parmesan – 3 tbsp

For sandwich you need

  • Eggplant – 1 medium 
  • zucchini – 1 medium 
  • Red onion – 1 
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Olive oil – approx 3 tbsp
  • Baguette bread – 1 (I cut them in 3 pieces)
  • Mozzarella – 1/2 cup (Or use a combination of Mozzarella & Cheddar cheese) If you have fresh well and good..

To have prepare pesto you need to

  • Pulse the basil, pine nuts, green chili, garlic and salt in a blender/grinder into fine paste. 
  • While the blender running, add the olive oil gradually to form a smooth and thick consistency. It smelled heaven  
  • Now transfer into a bowl and cheese. 
  • Check the salt and add more for your taste
  • Now transfer this in a jar or bottle 
  • Close well and refrigerate.
  • Try to use in 2 days

You have to,

  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. 
  • Cut eggplant and zucchini crosswise into thick slices
  • Cut Onions into thick round slices
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggplant, zucchini, and onion slices
  • In batches, drizzle oil and grill the eggplant, zucchini, and onions until they are cooked.
  • Allow to cool down a bit

  • Slice the baguette then into 3 pieces. 
  • Spread both sides of the bread generously with pesto. 
  • Stack slices of eggplant, zucchini and onion
  • Top with cheese. 
  • Place top half of baguette on top of the cheese
  • Repeat the same with remaining baguette.
  • Grill the sandwiches in pan or oven (the cheese will melt)

Enjoy 🙂

Notes:

  • You could use the normal bread
  • You can replace basil leaves with coriander leaves
