Description

This is simple to transport, and will easily feed a family of four.

Method

Step 1 of 5

Preheat a large griddle pan or a grill on its highest setting. Brush the slices of eggplant and zucchini on both sides with olive oil and season them well. Either griddle or grill them for 2-4 minutes each side, until they are charred in places and cooked through. Put them on a large plate in a single layer to cool.

Step 2 of 5

Slice about 1 cm off each end of the tomato, reserving these pieces. Slice the remaining tomato as thinly as possible.

Step 3 of 5

Cut the ciabatta in half, leaving a hinge so you can open it out flat. Drizzle both sides with a little olive oil. Take the offcuts of tomato and rub both sides of the bread with the cut side, to soften and flavour the bread, then discard the offcuts.

Step 4 of 5

Cover one side of the loaf with the eggplant, zucchini and red capsicums, then top with mozzarella. Sprinkle with the basil, season, then add the tomato.

Step 5 of 5

Close the loaf and press down on it hard. Wrap it very tightly in cling film, going around it a few times until it is completely covered and compressed. Leave in the fridge with a weight (such as a chopping board and some cans) on top for at least 4 hours, turning once. Unwrap and slice to serve, or transport in the wrapping and slice at a picnic.
