Ingredients
- 3 medium aubergine

- 2 yellow bell peppers
- 12 tomatoes sun-dried
- 8 ounce hard goat's cheese
- 16 small basil leaves
Servings:
Instructions
- Cut each aubergine lengthwise into slices about ½ inch thick. Take the largest eight slices and place on a baking pan. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 20 minutes.
- Thoroughly rinse aubergine slices and pat dry.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the coconut oil and heat until glistening. Add aubergine slices 2 at a time. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside to drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast bell peppers on grill, or on a grill pan, preheated on high. Arrange whole peppers on grill and cook until the skin is charred, about 5 minutes per side. Place peppers in a paper bag. This allows the skin to be removed easily. Allow to cool in bag for about 20 minutes. Pull or scrape the skin off with your fingers or a paring knife. Cut off the stem end, cut open the peppers and scrape out seeds and membrane. Cut into strips about 1 inch wide.
- Cut sun-dried tomatoes into strips.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing an aubergine slice on a plate. Spread each slice with goat's cheese and top as desired with slices of roasted peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil leaves. To complete the sandwich, place another aubergine slice on top.
- Enjoy!
