Ingredients

2 small ciabatta breads
4 tsp Chili Pepper Seasoning Paste 20 mL
2 cups sliced and grilled zucchini 500 mL
2 cups sliced and grilled eggplant 500 mL
2 red peppers, roasted and peeled
12 very thin slices Italian salami such as Genoa, Calabrese and/or sopressatta
1/2 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese 125 mL
1/4 cup shredded Italian cheese such as fontina 60 mL

Directions

Step 1
Cut four approx. 4-in. (10 cm) pieces from the ciabatta bread; reserve the remainder for another use. Split each piece in half crosswise and spread each top and bottom with pepper paste.
Step 2
Divide eggplant, zucchini and red pepper evenly, layering onto four pieces of bread. Add salami and shredded cheeses and close sandwiches, pressing firmly to flatten.
Step 3
Wrap sandwiches in foil and place in a large skillet. Flatten by placing a second heavy pan overtop. Weigh down with heavy cans, if necessary, and cook over medium heat for about 5 min. per side. (Sandwiches can also be heated on an outdoor grill.) Serve hot with a fresh green salad.
