A quick sandwich with greens and a little fish: Perfect for a quick, light lunch. The ingredients list makes it which sound a lot more involved than it is. You'll find just about all the ingredients in the deli section of the supermarket. For the sandwich you'll need:
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- ** For the Sandwich **
- 3 slices Tuscan bread, lightly toasted
- 2 slices grilled eggplant (buy at a deli)
- 3 slices grilled bell pepper, of the colors you prefer (buy at a deli)
- 4 cherry tomatoes, halved
- A hard-boiled egg, sliced
- 2 canned sardines, drained
- 4 pitted black or green olives, halved
- A clove of garlic (optional)
- ** For the Sauce **
- 2 fresh basil leaves
- A couple of sprigs of mint
- The leaves from a sprig of thyme and a sprig of marjoram
- Half a garlic clove (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon pickled capers
Preparation:
To make the sauce, blend everything together.
And then see to the sandwich: put down the first slice of bread, and arrange half the ingredients over it, and sprinkle them with half the sauce. Lightly rub the second slice of bread, top and bottom, with garlic if you want to, lay it over the ingredients put down so far, and top it with the rest of the ingredients. Sprinkle the remaining sauce over all, top with the last slice of bread, and that's it.
I'd go with a light, crisp white wine.
