Grilled Vegetable Panini

By Linda Larsen, About.com

First the vegetables are grilled, then the sandwich is formed and grilled again, for an excellent lunch recipe.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp. tarragon vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp. dried tarragon
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • dash pepper
  • 1 carrot, peeled and sliced lengthwise into 1/8" strips
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced into 1/8" strips
  • 1 yellow summer squash, sliced into 1/8" strips
  • 1 small red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup tarragon vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 1" thick slices French bread

Preparation:

In small bowl, combine mayonnaise, 2 tsp. tarragon vinegar and dried tarragon in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate.

Place sliced vegetables in a zip-top plastic bag and season with salt and pepper. In small bowl mix 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/4 cup tarragon vinegar. Drizzle half of this mixture over the vegetables in the plastic bag. Set aside for a few minutes to marinate.

Prepare and preheat two sided grill. Place vegetables on grill and cook 3 minutes, until tender. Reduce grill heat to medium-low. Brush French bread slices with remaining olive oil and tarragon vinegar mixture and grill 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Spread each slice of bread with the tarragon mayonnaise, then form sandwiches with the grilled vegetables. Grill again for 1-2 minutes until compressed and hot. 2 sandwiches
