Called an audible on this one. I bought too much eggplant for the bowls I made a couple days ago, so I found this recipe to make good use of it before it went bad. I hate wasting food generally, but I definitely want to make the most of what we have during quarantine. It's all about putting off the grocery store.
What I changed:
Adjusted an old pesto recipe
Used mixed greens for the sandwich, instead of arugla
Added roasted jalapeno, because I had one on hand nearing over-ripeness

While the eggplant roasts finish your pesto.
