Chef Tips

- Seque as rodelas de berinjela com papel toalha após o repouso para eliminar o sal e o suco escuro retido. - Mantenha a panela semi-tampada nos primeiros 5 minutos para amaciar a polpa antes de dourar no azeite. - Aqueça os pães caseiros por 3 minutos no forno preaquecido antes de montar para dar estaladiço.

Variations

- Junte 1 colher de sopa de azeitonas pretas picadas ao refogado de berinjela ao estilo caponata rápida. - Cubra a berinjela quente com 1 fatia de queijo provolone para derreter no calor do recheio. - Espalhe uma colher de pasta de grão-de-bico (homus) na fatia de base antes de rechear o pão.

Substitutions

- Homemade bread can be replaced with traditional French bread, pita bread, or sliced cornbread. - Olive oil can be swapped for vegetable oil with dried herbs or corn oil. - Curly lettuce can be swapped for fresh wild arugula leaves or washed watercress leaves.

How to Store

The eggplant sauté can be stored in a covered glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 4 consecutive days. The ready-made sandwich should be consumed within 6 hours so as not to lose the crispy texture of the homemade bread crust.

Can You Freeze It?

Do not freeze the assembled sandwich due to the loss of structure of the leaves and bread. Freeze only the eggplant sauté with onion and garlic in an airtight container for up to 60 days, just reheating in a hot pan before use.

What to Serve With

It pairs very well with golden rustic potatoes with rosemary, grilled cassava chips, or a bitter leaf salad. To drink, it pairs with iced mate tea blended with lemon, pilsner beer, or citrus juices.

Can I prepare the roasted eggplant instead of sautéed?
