Ingredients

  • 1 eggplant, sliced into strips
  • 2 red bell peppers
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 portobello mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 (1 pound) loaf focaccia bread

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2
Brush eggplant and red bell peppers with 1 tablespoon olive oil; use more if necessary, depending on sizes of vegetables. Place on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven. Roast eggplant until tender, about 25 minutes; roast peppers until blackened. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Step 3
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and cook and stir mushrooms until tender. Stir crushed garlic into mayonnaise. Slice focaccia in half lengthwise. Spread mayonnaise mixture on one or both halves.

Step 4
Peel cooled peppers, core, and slice. Layer eggplant, peppers, and mushrooms in focaccia.

Step 5
Wrap sandwich in plastic wrap; place a cutting board on top of it and weight it down with some canned foods. Allow sandwich to sit for 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Editor’s Note:

The eggplant and red peppers can also be grilled. Lightly oil the grate and cook over medium or medium-high heat until vegetables are tender and have nice grill marks.
