Grilled Veggie Sandwich with Lemon Garlic Sauce
In this sandwich, the rich eggplant and zucchini slices contrast nicely with some fresh, peppery arugula and tangy feta. Don't skip the lemon garlic sauce - it adds so much flavor and brings it all together. If you're not crazy about garlic, start with a little less and see how you like it. We all mmm-ed and aah-ed as we ate these sandwiches, so I hope you love it too!

1 bag frozen Misto Alla Griglia (Marinated Grilled Eggplant & Zucchini)
Petits Pains Rustiques (4 Country Style French Rolls)
Fresh arugula (a few handfuls)
Crumbled Feta with Mediterranean Herbs
Lemon Garlic Sauce (enough for 4 sandwiches)
4 Tbsp mayo
4 tsp lemon juice
4 cubes frozen Crushed Garlic (or 3-4 small cloves garlic, crushed)
1) Thaw bag of eggplant overnight in fridge, or microwave until warm per package instructions.
2.) Cut rolls in half.
3.) In a small bowl, stir together the ingredients for the Lemon Garlic Sauce until smooth.
4.) Build the sandwiches by drizzling a bit of the sauce into the bottom half of each roll. Add a big handful of arugula, then 1/4 of the warmed eggplant and zucchini slices, and finish with a topping of feta.
Serves 4.
To make just one sandwich: use one roll, a handful of arugula, 1/4 of the veggies, and for the sauce use 1 Tbsp mayo, 1 tsp lemon, and 1 clove/cube garlic.

Tastes great! but the grilled eggplant / zuchchini is a little too oily! I left them on paper towel to soak the oil..

Saw your recipe and it looked delishious but too mcuh time to make if super busy. I bought TJ frozen Italian meatballs, TJ Marinara Sauce, TJ Pamesan Reggiano and of course, TJ Asiago cheese bread. Put frozen meatballs in sauce to simmer, sluced bread diagonally, drizzled TJ evoo. Sliced meatballs in 1./ in slices, topped bread with MB and cheese and put in oven for 15 min. Best super bowl snack. WIped out before game started.

I’ve been making humus sandwiches with sprouts, pickles, olives, spinach & roasted peppers this week and it’s such a great warmer weather lunch. Thanks for some new, inspiring ideas!

We had this minus the lemon sauce for our evening meal. Super yummy. I agree on the oily comment. I'll dab them with a paper towel next time, but oh was it lovely. I may put pesto on the bread next time to make up for the lost oil.

Just had this for lunch. The lemon garlic mayo really makes this Wonderful. They were out of Rustique rolls so I used TJs ciabiatta rolls instead and topped it all with fresh cilantro leaves which really gave it a pop with the peppery arugula.
