Sandwich with Grilled Vegetables and Arugula Cream

Here's how:

• 1

  Arugula Cream

  Place the arugula and garlic clove in a bowl. Add the olive oil, nuts, lemon juice, and honey, and mix. Grate the Västerbottensost cheese and stir it in. Season with salt and pepper. Blend everything into a cream.

  Sandwich

  Slice the eggplant. Sprinkle salt on both sides and let it drain in a colander for 30 minutes. Wipe away any remaining salt and liquid with paper towels. Fry the slices in olive oil until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  Cut the zucchini into long slices and fry them in a little olive oil.
  Cut the bell peppers in half, remove the seeds, and cut into small pieces.
  Peel and cut the red onion into wedges.
  Peel and thinly slice a clove of garlic. Sauté the vegetables in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  Slice the bread and toast, grill, or fry it in a little butter.
  Spread a dollop of the arugula cream on the bread, top with the sautéed vegetables, and crumble the feta cheese over the top to finish.

  or: Anchovy Mayonnaise

  Anchovies go very well with vegetables. If you’d like, you can skip the arugula cream and make this delicious anchovy mayonnaise instead. Place two egg yolks in a bowl. Mix in a pinch of salt and 0.5 tsp lemon juice. Chop 5 anchovies into pieces and mash them together with the egg yolks using a fork. Pour in 1.5 dl of olive oil—first drop by drop, then in a thin, steady stream—while whisking constantly until you have a thick mayonnaise. Stir in the capers and season with black pepper and salt.
