Preparation
in 25 minutes
- Prepare aubergine by cutting into 1½ cm slices then cube.
- Cube the courgette and slice the yellow pepper and half the tomatoes.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan, add the aubergine, courgette and pepper and fry for 8-10 minutes, until tinged with brown, adding the tomatoes in the last couple of minutes, then drizzle over the balsamic vinegar.
- Meanwhile preheat the grill. Place the cut paninis on the grill rack cooked side up and toast until just tinged with brown, remove.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil onto the cut side of the panini.
- Place vegetables on top of the untoasted panini base and top with the sliced mozzarella, place back on the grill along with the up turned tops.
- Grill until the top is toasted and the mozzarella is just melting. Finish with a few torn leaves of basil and a good twist of cracked black pepper.
