A PROPA VEGGIE SARNIE Ep 5: Aubergine parmigiana loaded sarnie🥫🌟🤍 This is the sandwich I’ve been dreaming about making since starting this series but I wasn’t entirely sure if people would share the same enthusiasm so I held back for a bit but woweee it was STUN. Rich, cheesy, hearty but still felt fresh with the crusty baguette, fresh rocket and pine nuts- I could very much imagine having this for lunch on holiday🤤 Any fellow aubergine parm lovers, I can confidently say, you’d LOVE But, I didn’t expect anything less, it’s two of my favourite things in one x RECIPE Ingredients ▪️Olive oil ▪️Baguette ▪️1 aubergine, sliced ▪️1 white onion ▪️2 garlic cloves ▪️1 courgette ▪️half a red pepper ▪️tomato puree (I usually do 1 tin thinly chopped tomatoes and half a tin of passata but I didn’t want the sauce to be too loose for the sarnie) ▪️400ml passata ▪️half a veg stock cube, crumbled ▪️Basil, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper ▪️fresh basil ▪️grated red Leicester, grated cheddar & half a mozzarella ball ▪️handful of rocket ▪️pine nuts Method: 1.) You can find a detailed recipe for my aubergine parmigiana in my “Dinner” highlights but you essentially salt the aubergines to remove any bitterness, blot them dry then roast with oil and seasoning on 180 for 25-30 mins. Meanwhile prepare the sauce 2.) Assemble aubergine parmigiana with layers of cheese and then bake on 180C for 30 minutes 3.) When ready, leave the parmigiana to sit for around 15-20 minutes so it can firm up slightly to hold its shape in the sandwich 4.) Once firmed up, pan fry the middle of your baguettes in olive oil till crispy to avoid a soggy sarnie 5.) Use a spatula to place the parmigiana onto the sandwich, top with fresh basil, a handful of rocket, a sprinkle of pine nuts and drizzle with some good quality olive oil. Rub some raw garlic on the inside of the sandwich lid then pop her on and dig in😍😍😍 not only is this an excellent use of free will and a stunning sandwich but you also get dinner sorted for the next 2 nights from this so it’s a win win🍆🍆🍆 #vegetarianrecipes #sandwichtok #sandwichrecipe #aubergineparmigiana #foodcombo
