<\/strong>Looking for a hearty, satisfying vegetarian sandwich?  My favorite veggie sandwiches feature either grilled portobello or grilled eggplant, both of which have a meaty robustness.  Trader Joe’s carries a product in the freezer section called “Misto Alla Griglia,” marinated grilled eggplant and zucchini, which takes the work out of enjoying these grilled veggies.  I used them in a sandwich here, but they’re perfect for serving alongside an arugula salad<\/a> or incorporating into a lasagna (grab some TJ’s pasta sauce and no-boil noodles, and that lasagna really can’t get any easier.)<\/p>\n

In this sandwich, the rich eggplant and zucchini slices contrast nicely with some fresh, peppery arugula and tangy feta.  Don’t skip the lemon garlic sauce – it adds so much flavor and brings it all together.  If you’re not crazy about garlic, start with a little less and see how you like it.  We all mmm-ed and aah-ed as we ate these sandwiches, so I hope you love it too!<\/p>\n

Grilled Veggie Sandwich with Lemon Garlic Sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

1 bag frozen Misto Alla Griglia (Marinated Grilled Eggplant & Zucchini)
Petits Pains Rustiques (4 Country Style French Rolls)
Fresh arugula (a few handfuls)
Crumbled Feta with Mediterranean Herbs<\/p>\n

Lemon Garlic Sauce <\/span>(enough for 4 sandwiches)
4 Tbsp mayo
4 tsp lemon juice
4 cubes frozen Crushed Garlic<\/a> (or 3-4 small cloves garlic, crushed)<\/p>\n

1) Thaw bag of eggplant overnight in fridge, or microwave until warm per package instructions.
2.) Cut rolls in half.
3.) In a small bowl, stir together the ingredients for the Lemon Garlic Sauce until smooth. 
4.) Build the sandwiches by drizzling a bit of the sauce into the bottom half of each roll.   Add a big handful of arugula, then 1\/4 of the warmed eggplant and zucchini slices, and finish with a topping of feta.  <\/p>\n

Serves 4. 
To make just one sandwich: use one roll, a handful of arugula, 1\/4 of the veggies, and for the sauce use 1 Tbsp mayo, 1 tsp lemon, and 1 clove\/cube garlic.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
