- ¼ cup (60 mL) mayonnaise*
- 2 tsp. (10 mL) chopped garlic
- 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) pesto
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 4 artichoke hearts*, thinly sliced
- 4 sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) Irresistibles extra virgin olive oil*
- 1 sprig of fresh oregano, crumbled
- 1 sprig of fresh basil, crumbled
- 1 Irresistibles bay leaf*
- 1 red pepper, cut in half, membranes and seeds removed
- 1 green pepper, cut in half, membranes and seeds removed
- 1 small eggplant, sliced lengthwise
- Irresistibles extra virgin olive oil* to taste
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 8 chicken souvlakis

Preparation
Preheat the barbecue to medium.
Mix together the mayonnaise, garlic and pesto. Set aside in a cool place.
Make a papillote out of aluminium foil and inside place the onion, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, oil, oregano, basil and bay leaf.
Seal the papillote and cook on the barbecue for 15 to 20 minutes.
Grill the pepper halves skin side down until the skin blackens. Set aside.
Grill the eggplant slices for 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
Scrape off the charred pepper skins with a knife. Thinly slice the peppers and set aside.
Remove the skin from the eggplant slices.
Thinly slice and set aside with the peppers.
Add the papillote ingredients to the pepper mixture.
Drizzle over some olive oil. Season.
Grill the souvlakis 3 minutes per side.
Heat the focaccias.
Serve the souvlakis in the focaccias; garnish with the pesto sauce and grilled vegetables.
Suggestion
Aluminium foil papillotes must be tightly sealed to prevent the steam from escaping.
To do this, use two layers of foil, place the food in the centre, join the two lengthwise edges, fold them over twice, then flatten the ends and fold the corners over.
Accompaniment: Caesar salad.
Light or medium-bodied red wine.
