Ciabatta is the Italian word for "slipper".
Ciabatta has a lightly crispy outside, but not too crispy where it cuts you,
and has an inner dough of airy deliciousness.
- A few slices of eggplant, depending on how meaty you would like your sandwich
- A mixture of Italian seasonings,olive oil, and balsamic vinegar (I had this pre-made as a salad dressing)
- 1/2 of a tomato, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped onion (this is a strange measurement but you really don't need a lot of onion)
- Basil
- Salt and pepper
- Ciabatta bread
For the eggplant:
Generously drizzle the olive oil mixture over eggplant slices, sprinkle with basil and let marinate for a half hour. Grill lightly over medium heat, just enough to see tan lines on the eggplant. Set aside.
Tomato Topping:
Toss tomatoes with garlic, onions and 1/2 a teaspoon of basil. Set aside.
Cut a nice chunk of bread for your sandwich. Slice in half and lightly brush with oil. Place face down on grill over medium heat for a few minutes, just enough to warm up. Make sandwich by place eggplant on open bread and top with tomatoes. Sprinkle with a touch of basil. Eat.
Inspiration...I wanted a sandwich.
Cheers...to muddin'.
