Grilled Veggie on Rosemary Focaccia with Lemon Dill Mayo


I started making this when I was pregnant with my first daughter over eight years ago, it was a healthy and filling lunch or dinner and it tasted AMAZING. The portobello mushroom will make you think you are having a meat filled sandwich. Did I mention its AMAZING! Hope you like it.

Ingredients (makes 4 full sandwiches)

1 Egg plant
1 Zuchinni
3 Portobello Mushrooms
2 Sweet Red Peppers (preferrably roast the red pepper or you can grill with the other veggies)
Olive Oil
Salt
Black Pepper
2 Garlic cloves
Butter
4 Focaccia Buns
Mayo Dill (fresh)
1 Lemon

Slice all vegetables into big pieces and place in a ziplock bag, season to taste with salt, black pepper and add olive oil.  Toss Vegetables in bag and let sit for 15 mins.  Grill vegetables preferrably on open flame.

Prepare Bread:
Slice the bread in half and butter , place face down in a hot skillet to toast the inside side of the bread (like you would with grilled cheese) Once toasted take one of the garlic cloves (skin removed) and rub it over the toasted side of the bread. Set aside.

Prepare Mayo:
This is best prepared with a handheld blender, add two tablespoons of Mayo, the lemon juice of half a lemon, dill and the remaining peeled garlic clove add black pepper to taste :)  Blend to create a smooth sauce. Set aside.

Building Your Sandwich:
Once the veggies are grilled, the bread is ready and the mayo is blended, its time to build your sandwich.  Add veggies and drizzle with mayo.  You can add lettuce or spinach and if you really want to get crazy, you can melt mozzarella cheese on the bread.  Either with or without, you are going to love how this tastes.
