Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 slices Sandwich Toast - use any bread of your choice
  • ½ Egg plant - cut into thin slices
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/3 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 oil packed Sun-dried Tomatoes - sliced
  • 1 handful Mixed Salad
  • 4 slices Cucumber
  • 2 tbsp Hummus
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil - or other vegetable oil of your choice
  • 4-5 leaves Fresh basil - chopped optional

Instructions

  • Cut the eggplant into thin slices. Drizzle each slice with a little olive oil and rub it in, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt and smoked paprika.
  • Heat a grill pan or frying pan over medium heat and cook the eggplant slices for 3-5 minutes on each side, until they’re tender and lightly browned.
  • Spread hummus evenly on both slices of sandwich bread.
  • Assemble the sandwich by layering the salad, cucumber slices, and sundried tomatoes (chop the sundried tomatoes into smaller pieces if preferred).
  • Add the grilled eggplant slices on top, sprinkle with fresh basil, then finish by placing the second slice of bread on top.
  • Serve and enjoy!
