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!

Very nice sandwich :D
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHow delicious does that look? I love Moroccan food and that sandwich sounds like a perfect addition to your tailgating parties!!
ReplyDeleteMoroccan food is so good! I wish it was something that I had discovered sooner as I've only really just started experimenting with their recipes in recent years. But I guess better late than never!
DeleteLovely photo setting and lovely colours. How come Jason did not enroll at Notre Dame if you live close, I know you said once he would like to finish his degree. No time and will?
ReplyDeleteBecause by his mid 20's he was making more money than most college educated people and he actually loved his job at the time. By the time he was ready to quit that job in his 40's, it was time we started working for ourselves and we don't need a degree for that. At this point, it's just a piece of paper. His 22 years of experience building that first company from the ground up taught him more about running a business than he would learn in a classroom. Plus Notre Dame is a private college, very hard to get into, and at $60,000 tuition a year, never would have been considered.
DeleteThat looks YUM! We only root for the Buckeyes here!
ReplyDeleteYes, I find that most in Ohio are very tight on keeping their loyalty to the Buckeyes.
DeleteI don't watch football, not a fan of sports.
ReplyDeleteThe sandwich sounds good.
Thanks, Mary!
DeleteGracias por la receta se ve diferente y rica. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteI'm technically a Panthers fan and I have zero faith in them
ReplyDeleteLOL, well at least you're consistent and honest about it!
DeleteWhat a great way to use eggplant They're so pretty they're sure to be a hit at any kind of party. I love these!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rosey!
DeleteLooks like a great alternative to the usual staples indeed. Not much football up here.
ReplyDeleteI have a few friends that live close to the border that like to come to some of the games here. I imagine the further north you go, the less interest there is in football.
DeleteThanks for this recipe. I would definitely like to try this as it looks so good!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome and thanks for stopping by!
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThat sandwich looks perfect for football season! I love hot dogs but apart from being unhealthy, I'm intolerant, but now I've discovered some chicken sausages that I can digest and I've been eating hot dogs, well sort of.... ahahah! I loved your recipe and long live the parties, no matter who wins the game!!! Hugs!
We have some chicken sausages here too, though I've never tried them myself. Glad you've found something that you can eat without tummy upset!
DeleteOh yum. That looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
