TUSCAN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or broiler. Slice the eggplant one-half inch thick and grill or broil the slices until they are lightly browned. Brush the browned slices with all but one tablespoon of the oil and season them to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the parsley and set aside.
• Puree the beans and mix them with the garlic and the remaining olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Cut the bread into 16 slices, to make 8 sandwiches. Spread the slices with the bean puree, then arrange the eggplant slices on half of them. Top the eggplant with the peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, arugula and cheese. Cover with the remaining slices of bread and serve.
