Heat It Up!

This mild version of the bánh mì uses cherry bell peppers, but sliced fresh jalapeño chile peppers would add a welcome heat.

OPEN-FACED GRILLED VEGGIE SANDWICHES

Try this sandwich with different vegetables, cheeses, or chiles.

PREP TIME: 20 MIN. / TOTAL TIME: 41 MIN. / SERVES: 10 (1 SANDWICH)

7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

2 large sweet onions, halved and very thinly sliced (about 2 to 21/2 cups)

2 fresh red bell peppers, stems and seeds removed, sliced into rounds

2 fresh green bell peppers, stems and seeds removed, sliced into rounds

1 pound cremini mushrooms, stems removed

2 chayote squash, halved lengthwise, seeded, and sliced

Olive oil cooking spray

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

1 small shallot, finely diced (about 2 teaspoons)

1 garlic clove, minced

1 loaf ciabatta bread, halved lengthwise

4 fresh Cubanelle chile peppers, charred, peeled, stems and seeds removed, sliced into rounds (about 1/2 pound)

6 slices mozzarella cheese

1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook until browned, stirring once, about 10 to 12 minutes.

2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly spray bell peppers, mushrooms, and chayote with cooking spray; sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Place vegetables on grill rack; grill directly over heat until just tender, turning once, about 10 to 12 minutes.

3. In a bowl, whisk together remaining 6 tablespoons oil, vinegar, shallot, and garlic; whisk in salt and black pepper to taste.

4. Preheat broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil. Brush vinegar mixture evenly on cut sides of bread halves; arrange on prepared baking sheet, cut sides up. Arrange mushrooms, chayote, bell peppers, onion, and chile evenly on both bread halves; top with cheese. Broil until cheese is melted and sandwiches are heated through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Cut each bread half into 5 pieces. Serve.
