Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt plus more
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped rosemary leaves
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and quartered
1 red bell pepper, seeded and quartered
1 pound zucchini, cut on a diagonal into slices about 5 inches long and 1/4-inch thick
1 pound eggplant, cut on a diagonal into slices about 5 inches long and 1/4-inch
3 medium portobello mushrooms, stemmed, dark gills removed, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 medium red onion, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
1 large vine-ripened tomato, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1/2 pound fresh or smoked mozzarella, cut into 1/8 inch thick slices, or 4 ounces fresh goat cheese cut into 8 pieces
1 cup arugula or basil leaves, washed and dried
One 9-inch square piece of focaccia bread, about 1 to 1 1/4 pounds

Steps:

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, 3/4 teaspoon salt, garlic, rosemary, and pepper. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of the oil to make a dressing. Set aside.
Preheat a stove top grill pan or out-door grill to medium heat. Brush the peppers, zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, and onion with the remaining oil. Grill the peppers until lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the peppers to a pan or large platter. Grill the zucchini, until softened and lightly browned and tender, about 3 minutes per side; transfer to the pan with the peppers. Grill the mushrooms, until soft but not flabby, about 2 minutes per side; set aside with the other vegetables. Grill the onions until soft, about 5 minutes per side; set aside with the other vegetables. Drizzle a tablespoon of the dressing over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper to taste.
To make the Dagwood sandwich: Split the bread in half to make two evenly thick square pieces. Brush the dressing on the cut sides. Make a layer of each of the grilled vegetables that evenly covers one piece of the bread, overlapping the pieces slightly, if necessary. Top with a layer of the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper. Lay the arugula on top and drizzle them with about a tablespoon of the dressing. Finish the sandwich off with the cheese and lay the other piece of bread on top. Wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap. Place the wrapped sandwich on a cutting board or baking sheet and weigh it down with a heavy object, such as a cast-iron skillet, for about 1 hour. When ready to serve cut into 4 to 6 pieces equal pieces.

You can make this as big and/or thick as you want depending on the size of the bread slices. Cutting in 1/4's like a club sandwich and topping with an olive skewered by a toothpick is recommended. Enjoy!!

Ingredients

1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
10 slices white bread (thick slices)
1/4 lb sliced pepperoni
1/4 lb thinly sliced swiss cheese
1/2 lb thinly sliced turkey breast
1/4 lb thinly sliced provolone cheese
1/2 lb thinly sliced roast beef
1/4 lb thinly sliced mild cheddar cheese
1/2 lb thinly sliced pastrami
1/4 lb thinly sliced monterey jack pepper cheese or 1/4 lb monterey jack cheese, if pepper jack is too spicy

5 pieces thick-cut bacon, cooked crisp and halved
1 medium tomatoes, cut into thin slices (about 5)
10 leaves green leaf lettuce, washed, patted dry, and stem end removed
3 cherry tomatoes
3 slices pickles (small slices)
3 long metal skewers
potato chips, accompaniment

Steps:

Combine mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl. Season with chopped garlic and Essence.
Arrange 5 bread slices on a large cutting board. Spread 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise mixture evenly on each slice.
Layer the meat and cheeses evenly among the bread slices in this order: pepperoni, Swiss, turkey, provolone, roast beef, cheddar, pastrami, pepper jack, and salami. (Fold the meats so that the sandwiches will stack evenly on top of each other.) Top each of the sandwiches with tomato slices and the remaining bread slices.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise mixture on top of each sandwich and lay 2 bacon halves on top of each sandwich.
Place 1 cherry tomato and 1 pickle slice through each skewer.
Carefully build the Dagwood Sandwich by stacking all 5 sandwiches on top of each other. Separate the sandwiches by placing 2 lettuce leaves in between.
To keep the sandwich tower from falling over, fit the skewers into the sandwich tower all the way through the center. To serve, pull off the desired amount of bread, meat and cheese, and serve with potato chips on the side.
