Saw this made on food networks Down Home with the Neeley’s. They like spicy foods so I just omitted a few ingredients.
For the Veggies:
1 Zucchini, sliced
2 Red Peppers, quartered
1 Red Onion, sliced
1 pt. Cherry Tomatoes
EVOO
Salt & Pepper
Drizzle veggies with EVOO & season with salt & pepper.
Stir to coat.
Grill to tender crisp (can also roast in a 400° oven for 30 minutes).
For the spread & to assemble:
2 cloves Garlic, pressed
Zest of ½ a Lemon
Juice from ½ a Lemon
¾ c. Mayonnaise
Salt & Pepper to taste.
1 loaf Italian Bread, cut in half lengthwise
8 slices Mozzarella Cheese
6 Fresh Basil Leaves
Combine 1st five ingredients & set aside.
Grill bread until lightly browned.
Spread mayonnaise mixture on both sides of bread.
Build your hero with the veggies.
Top with the cheese & basil leaves.
Cut as desired & serve.
Ever since my 8th grade home economics class, where I made boxed tacos for the first time, I knew cooking was in my blood. I've had the honor of having my recipes published in New Hampshire Magazine, Taste of Home, the Nashua Telegraph and several cookbooks.
