Preparation
Preheat barbecue at medium.
Mix mayonnaise, garlic and pesto. Set aside in a cool place.
Make a papillote out of aluminum foil and place in it the onion, artichoke hearts, dried tomatoes, oil, oregano, basil and bay leaf.
Close the papillote and barbecue 15 to 20 minutes.
Grill the hot pepper halves skin side down until the skin is black. Set aside.
Grill eggplant slices 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
Remove the skin from the hot peppers with a knife. Mince flesh and set aside. Remove the skin from the eggplant slices. Mince and set aside with hot peppers. Add the ingredients in the papillote to the hot peppers and eggplants.
Slowly pour olive oil. Season.
Grill souvlakis 3 minutes per side.
Heat foccacia bread.
Serve souvlakis in foccacia bread garnished with pesto sauce.
Suggestion
Aluminum foil papillotes must be sealed hermetically to keep steam inside. To do so, double-layer the foil, place the food in the centre, join the two lengthwise edges, folding them over twice. Flatten the ends and fold corners over.* We recommend Selection and Irresistibles products.
