Grilled Vegetable Antipasti – a Mediterranean classic<\/h2>\n

Vegetables are one of my favorite things to grill, especially at this time of year when they are so fresh and abundant and summer is approaching. I love the Mediterranean classics: eggplant, zucchini and red pepper as they are reminiscent of summer holidays spent in the south. And grilling them is what makes them so very delicious. I love how the grilling them enhances the flavor and turns them into something completely irresistible. Which is exactly what makes vegetable antipasti so delicious.<\/p>\n

Grilling with the LeMax<\/h2>\n

And rather than just preparing an antipasto platter, I decided to make vegetable antipasti grilled on my glass ceramic electric grill. Yet another chance to put my LeMax grill into action. And of course, this LeMax<\/a> test again proved that it\u2019s a terrific tool for all my grilling needs. The large grilling surface is of great benefit. And since it\u2019s electric, I can grill indoors or out.<\/p>\n

\nTips for preparing these grilled vegetable sandwiches:<\/h2>\n

One, the pesto:<\/strong> I choose to make my own pesto for this recipe, but it\u2019s perfectly fine to use a store-bought one. There are some terrific brands available that are really tasty. One of my favourite is from PPURA<\/a> found at your local organic supermarket (unpaid mention).<\/p>\n

Two, use GOOD bread:<\/strong> Whether it\u2019s a roll, a baguette or your favourite bread, make sure it\u2019s fresh, tasty and sturdy enough to stand up and support the fillings. This is no time to use a toast bread.<\/p>\n

Three, the veggies.<\/strong> Lots and lots of veggies, you know I love my veggies. But if you aren\u2019t a fan of a particular vegetable, then sub it out with another. Or add a variety of the same vegetable, like a mix of red and yellow peppers or zucchini and summer squash \u2014 and instead of slicing them in rounds try long strips!<\/p>\n

\nHow to adapt this grilled vegetable antipasti sandwich recipe:<\/h2>\n

There are countless ways to adapt this delicious sandwich \u2014 and all of them delicious!<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Instead of a classic pesto, try a sun-dried tomato pesto or olive tapenade \u2014 or how about hummus<\/a>?<\/li>\n
  • Trade out the ricotta spread for mozzarella, burrata or shaved parmesan
    \nSkip the Mediterranean classics (red pepper, aubergine and zucchini) \u2014 try grilling fennel, sweet red onions, or summer squash.<\/li>\n
  • Add some Italian meats. You can even grill them for your sandwich. Try wrapping some cheese (like gouda, provolone or fontina) with slices of prosciutto and grilling them for your sandwich.<\/li>\n
  • Add marinated artichokes or sun-dried tomatoes to your sandwich \u2014 or both!<\/li>\n
  • Finish off the sandwich with a drizzle of balsamic creme.<\/li>\n
  • Use your favourite rolls or bread \u2014 ciabatta, focaccia and baguettes are all great choices!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    And don\u2019t forget the sides, you can serve these antipasti sandwiches alongside marinated mushrooms, olives, pickles or other small bites.<\/p>\n
