This sandwich has it all: salty halloumi, richness from the aubergines and a fresh piquancy from the herbal green sauce. A super satisfying sandwich for a gloriously sunny day! Warning: this is a two-napkin job…

Ingredients

1 small aubergine, cut into thin slices
250g halloumi, sliced thickly
Small handful each mint, parsley and basil, finely chopped
Capers, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, crushed or finely grated
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 ciabatta buns
Watercress or rocket
Neutral oil, for cooking the aubergine

Directions

Combine

Combine the herbs, capers, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, garlic, olive oil and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Heat two gas burners

Heat two gas burners on the Jupiter Outback BBQ and set the heat to medium-high.

Brush the aubergine

Brush the aubergine slices with neutral oil and season lightly with salt. Grill for 2-3 minutes each side, or until soft and a little charred in places.

Cook the halloumi

Cook the halloumi slices at the same time, until golden on both sides.

Split the ciabatta

Split the ciabatta buns and toast them lightly on the BBQ.

Layer the buns

Layer the buns with watercress or rocket, aubergine slices and halloumi, followed by the green sauce. Top with the remaining bun slices and serve.
