Roasted Aubergine and Pickled Beet Sandwiches

This roasted aubergine and pickled beetroot sandwich is a vibrant vegetarian dish that balances smoky, earthy flavours with a sharp, vinegary punch. The aubergine is roasted until buttery and tender, providing a substantial filling that pairs beautifully with the salty hit of feta and oil-cured olives. It is a sophisticated take on a classic vegetable sandwich, elevated by a fragrant herb salad and a punchy garlic mayonnaise.

Ideal for a weekend lunch or a prepared weekday meal, this recipe offers a wonderful contrast of textures, from the soft focaccia to the crunch of the pickled beetroot. The aubergine can be roasted up to a day in advance and kept in the fridge, making this a practical choice for entertaining or quick assembly. For the best flavour, use a mix of fresh mint and dill to brighten the rich, roasted notes.
