Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

8 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 teaspoon plus 3 tablespoons olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
2 red bell peppers, halved, seeded
4 1/2-inch-thick eggplant slices
1 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise into 4 slices
4 large fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
8 green onions, roots and 4 inches of green tops trimmed
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme or 3/4 teaspoon dried
3 tablespoons slice fresh basil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 large whole-grain rolls, halved, toasted
1 tomato, thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Place garlic in custard cup; drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil. Cover with foil; bake until garlic is tender, about 35 minutes. Cool and mash garlic.

    Step 2

    Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Grill or broil peppers, rounded side toward heat, until peppers are charred, about 10 minutes. Wrap in paper bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel peppers. Transfer to platter.

    Step 3

    Arrange eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms and green onions on baking sheet. Brush vegetables on each side with 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Grill or broil vegetables until golden and tender, turning once, about 6 minutes per side. Cut green onions into 2-inch pieces. Transfer vegetables to same platter. Sprinkle with thyme and basil.

    Step 4

    Whisk vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in bowl until blended. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle dressing over vegetables.

    Step 5

    Spread rolls with mashed garlic, dividing equally. Top each roll with tomato slices, then roasted pepper, eggplant, zucchini, green onions and mushroom.
