Roasted Vegetables and Feta Cheese on Panini Rolls.

This recipe came from my wonderful Dad. While I was visiting the UK last year, my Dad, and his wife and I, decided to spend a day out on the East Coast of Britain. Rather than pay for overpriced plates of grease, we took sandwiches with us. These he made the day before, and put them in the fridge tightly wrapped in cling wrap (saran wrap for my North American friends.)

Now, you could use any vegetables that you want, so long as they're good for roasting in the oven, but I'll just give the recipe as my Dad made them. They're good with the filling hot as well as cold. Also, you can roast as many or as little of each vegetable as you like, but do bear in mind that once roasted down, there may not be as much filling as you thought there would be.

I absolutely adore these Sandwiches. The vegetables taste fantastic caramelized down, and the sweetness of them contrasts yet blends in extremely well with the saltiness of the Feta Cheese. Added to which, it's vegetables and Olive Oil. Healthy yet yummy!!

Ingredients.

  • Sweet Potato
  • Red Onion
  • Garlic
  • Red Pepper
  • Green Pepper
  • Panini Rolls
Preheat oven to 350F

Roughly slice the vegetables and put them into a bowl. Leave the garlic in whole cloves.

Drizzle lightly with Olive Oil, and toss to ensure vegetables are all coated. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Place the vegetables onto a roasting pan, and place them in the oven.

Roast vegetables till they're soft and caramelized. Cooking times may vary depending on what vegetables you use. Allow to cool slightly.

Slice the Panini Rolls open, and drizzle a little Olive Oil on the inside of both halves.

There are a few ways you can prepare the filling. You can leave the vegetables as they are, and layer them on the Panini roll, you can coarsely mash them if you like a smooth puree with some chunks in it, or you can place in a food processor and blend till completely smooth.

Crumble the Feta cheese on top, place the top of the Panini Roll on top and enjoy!

If you're making these in Advance, wrap tightly in Cling wrap and place in the fridge. They can be made a day or so in advance and will keep well in the fridge for a few days so long as they're wrapped.

Till next time, keep cookin'!
