Grilled Peppersquash Sandwich

Grilled Peppersquash Sandwich

Ingredients:
1 Yellow Squash
1 Zucchini
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Green Pepper
1 Orange Pepper
1 Yellow Pepper
1 Red Onion
1 Loaf Bread (I used Rotella's Italian)
8oz block Monterrey Jack Cheese
salt/pepper
Olive Oil

Optional:
Butter


Instructions:
Now these are grilling instructions, below I will include kitchen instructions for the non-grillers.
As per usual with these recipes they are vegetarian friendly (fucking hippies), all of the vegetables in this one can be swapped or not used at all (mmm, Anaheim peppers and jalapenos?). The main vegetables you should not get rid of are the squash, zucchini, red pepper, and onion. And of course, if you're a meat eater like me, throw on a grilled chicken breast!!

Fire up the grill! You won't need many coals, since you're only grilling vegetables, but change accordingly.

The vegetables should all be cut at this point, but remember since they are going between bread you'll need them to be stripped instead of chopped. 

First, make a foil boat for the vegetables, it's extremely simple, figure it out. 
Toss the vegetables in a bowl with salt, pepper, (optional lemon pepper seasoning), and olive oil. Once tossed, throw them in the boat, top with a spoonful of butter or two and throw it on the grill, cook until vegetables are soft.
If you'd rather get basic, you can always cut slabs of the peppers and throw them directly on the grill, or even kebab the veggies if you want the grill flavor

Wrap the bread in foil and throw it on the grill with the vegetables, turning every minute or so until toasty. Once toasted, cut it into slices and place on grill butt side down with garlic pepper mayonnaise spread on and mont/jack cheese covering every slice.

Once the cheese is melted on the bread take it off! (Shouldn't take long) Grab some vegetables and eat your sandwich!!
If you're a real tough guy you can put the made sandwich BACK ON the grill for a bit to melt it all together a little more.




Kitchen directions:

Essentially the same thing. Saute the vegetables over medium heat.
If you're adding a chicken breast, you can use a george foreman or something, or attempt to bake it, I'd just as soon not mess with it.
The bread can be cut immediately and thrown in the oven on a low broil with garlic pepper mayo spread on and cheese covering each slice, broil until cheese is melted.

The kitchen version is much easier, but there's no reason you should be inside during a grillout!
