Sandwich Dinner

[Carlovski]

how about caponata?

Here Jamie Oliver's pretty good recipe- or use the italian cookbook of your choice!

grill slices of zuchini

dribble on a mix of chopped parsley, a little garlic, salt, anchovie, capers

layer layer layer

you can make this a few days in advance.

or use eggplant if you like.

Other options for coleslaw (that do not have a sweet or fruity accent) :

spicy asian coleslaw with peanuts

red cabbage slaw with anchovy vinagrette

classic southern coleslaw with a 'boiled' dressing and celery seeds

I've had all three of these with pork and they provide a happy combination.

Something tomato-y would be good, but decent tomatoes are very expensive at the moment.

Do you have easy access to grape tomatoes? Are they pricey over there? I find that they are generally the most tomato-y flavoured tomatoes tomatoes are scarce. And the prices over here don't vary too much

Tossed together with some basil, thinly sliced red onion, vinegar (balsamic/red wine/whatever you like ) olive oil, salt and pepper or whatever you like. Makes a nice, simple salad that can be put together and kept in the fridge until you need it (keeping the fresh herbs out until you serve).

I of course, am always in favour of soup. Hot or cold.

Your menu sounds great!
