Zucchini Grinders
These baked sandwiches
are a great vegetarian version of an Italian
grinder. They can be made ahead of time and heated
just before serving.
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon butter
2 medium zucchini, cubed
1 pinch red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup marinara sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
4 (6 inch) French or Italian sandwich rolls, split
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to
350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry
the zucchini in butter until browned and slightly
tender. Season with red pepper flakes, salt and
pepper, and stir in the marinara sauce. Cook and
stir until sauce is heated.
3. Spoon a generous amount of the zucchini mixture
into each sandwich roll. Top with a handful of
shredded mozzarella. Close the rolls, and wrap
individually in aluminum foil.
4. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until
bread is heated through, and cheese is melted.
