We've just left bbq season and are transitioning into party season. I live minutes from Notre Dame University, so if the increased traffic doesn't tell us it's football season around here, the tailgating definitely does. We don't usually hit the campus for the tailgating parties, but we've been known to host a few at home viewing parties for those who want to be close to the stadium but want to avoid the crowds. For the eats, we'll stick with the basics- sliders, hot wings, hot dogs, and burgers. Sometimes we'll throw in some sandwiches for good measure. As I was browsing Golden Blossom Honey earlier this week, I saw this recipe for Moroccan  Style Caponata Sandwiches and thought they would be a fun addition to the football feast. 

 

 

So much of football viewing eats are centered around either fried foods or meats, there aren't usually many vegetarian or healthy options for those who have dietary restrictions or are simply trying not to fall into the unhealthy eating habits that usually come with game day parties and tailgating. This sandwich has a lot of delicious veggies and spices piled onto toasted Italian bread, making it a perfect Mediterranean inspired sandwich worthy to be served as game day grub. No matter who you're rooting for, win or lose, with this sandwich on the menu, everyone comes out a winner!
