Vegetable Ciabatta Grinder

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegetable Ciabatta Grinder.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a sizzling 500°F (260°C) to get it ready for some deliciousness.

2. Step 2

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, drizzle in some olive oil and warm it over medium heat.

3. Step 3

   Once the oil is shimmering, toss in your sliced onion and sauté it until it turns soft and translucent, which should take about five minutes.

4. Step 4

   Next, add the sliced eggplant to the pot, giving it a quick stir and letting it cook for about a minute so it can soak up that lovely oil.

   Now, it’s time to introduce the zucchini; stir it in and let it soften for one to two minutes.

6. Step 6

   Then, add the sliced mushrooms along with a pinch of salt, cooking until the mushrooms are tender, which should take around three to four minutes.

7. Step 7

   Pour in the Marsala wine, bringing the mixture to a lively boil while you scrape up any tasty browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot.

8. Step 8

   Let this simmer for about two to three minutes until the wine reduces slightly, enhancing all those wonderful flavors.

   While that’s happening, grab your ciabatta rolls and spread a tablespoon each of garlic basil spread, garlic roasted tomato spread, and artichoke aioli on each one.

    Now, pile on a generous 1/4 pound of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the spreads, and then evenly distribute your sautéed vegetable medley over the cheese.
