Created by The Tesco Recipes team

This ciabatta sandwich takes its inspiration from aubergine parmigiana and is truly something special. Toasted ciabatta rolls are filled with a rich aubergine and tomato sauce, then topped with melting mozzarella, rocket and pecorino. Using leftover pasta alla Norma sauce (see tip below), it’s super-speedy and simple, yet still delivers on flavour.

Method

  1. Preheat the grill to high. Put the ciabatta rolls on a baking tray, cut-side down, and grill for a few mins until toasted.
  2. Flip the rolls over and spread the bottoms with the aubergine-tomato sauce. Tear over the mozzarella, then grill for a further 2-4 mins until the cheese is melted and the aubergine mixture is warm.
  3. Meanwhile, mix the pecorino with the rocket.
  4. Remove the tray from the grill and pile a third of the rocket-pecorino mix on top of the melted cheese. Season with black pepper and sprinkle over a little balsamic dressing, then top with the roll lid. Serve with the remaining rocket and pecorino salad alongside, drizzled with the remaining balsamic dressing.
