While we were in Minneapolis a couple weeks ago, we had lunch at a Wolfgang Puck Express, and I had a vegetable sandwich that was really, really good! I decided to create my own version of the sandwich at home. Here's the recipe:
Roasted Veggie Sandwich
Ingredients:
Vegetables (options: red onions, zucchinis, eggplant, mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, etc.)
Olive oil
Good quality sandwich bread (ciabatta or focaccia would be yummy too)
Pesto
Fresh mozzarella (1-2 slices per sandwich)
Lettuce or spinach
Slice your vegetables, drizzle with a little olive oil, toss, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in a foil-lined pan at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes (or until they are tender and start to get a little crisp around the edges). While the veggies are cooling down just a little, assemble your sandwiches.
Toast the bread with a slice of mozzarella on top so that the cheese begins to melt. (Alternately, you can use a stovetop grill pan or a panini press.)
Spread pesto on one side of the sandwich. Add lettuce and vegetables.
Serve with a side of sweet potato fries or gourmet potato chips.
Oh my goodness...that looks amazing! We still make your roasted veggie pizza at times...delicious!
ReplyDeleteI had the sandwich in RI airport so good. I remember that the sandwich also had a zucchini bruschetta on it thanks for your recipe
ReplyDeleteAnon -- thanks for the tip! I will have to try to add the bruschetta and see if that closer approximates the taste of the WP sandwich.
