- Cut the Zucchini into fine stripes1 zucchini
- Cut the onions into rough pieces1-2 small onions
- Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes until you have a paste-like texture60 grams sun-dried tomatoes in oil
Toasting & Roasting
- Toast the almonds in a small frying pan at medium-low heat until they turn slightly brown. Keep them moving all the time cause they can burn pretty fast.20 grams of sliced almonds
- Roast the Vegetables in a large frying pan. I prefer using a cast iron skillet, as this pan produces a lot of heat which is great for roasting and caramelizing. For sure you can use any kind o pan.
- Cut the bread in half and toast it in the preheated pan.1 large Ciabatta Bread
The garlic-lemon Mayonnaise
- add egg yolk, mustard, the zest of half a lemon and half a clove of grated garlic into a medium bowl and whisk together.1 egg yolk, 1 tsp mustard, ½ clove garlic, 1 lemon
- very slowly (drop-by-drop) add olive oil and keep mixing. When the Mayonnaise gets a bit thicker, you can add the oil a little faster. But don't add the oil too fast at the beginning, otherwise the Mayonnaise will curdle and there is no emulsion happening.1-2 dl olive oil
- add a squeeze of lemon juice, finely chopped parsley and as my secret ingredient, a tiny splash of sesame oil. Mix together to the final Mayonnaise½ handful of parsley, ½ tsp sesame oil
Layering the Sandwich
- put half of the Mayonnaise on the bottom half of the bread. Add as much grilled veggies depending on your liking. Add sliced mozzarella cheese, top with the sun-dried tomatoes, caramelized onions and finely some fresh arugula.1 handful of rocket, 1 ball Mozzarella
