ZESTY HAM SANDWICH
I learned that in Rome and other parts of Italy, pizza simply started out as bread with oil and herbs on it. In some locales, cheese, tomato and grilled meat were added. With the basic original pizza ingredients surrounding me, I was inspired to make a modern version of an ancient food and this recipe was born.-Mara Mcauley, Hinsdale, New York

GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH SPICY ITALIAN NEONATA
Summer squash, bell peppers, eggplant and greens are the stars of this greenmarket grill party. The spicy vibrant finishing sauce is inspired by Calabrian neonata, a preserved condiment made with hot peppers and baby fish. The condiment is often drizzled onto pasta, pizza or grilled bread. Here, briny anchovies, salami and olives season the sauce with salty, meaty notes to contrast with the spicy pickled cherry peppers and cool, crunchy celery. The fiery, tangy dressing, which can be made a few hours ahead, provides a lively boost for the smoky, tender veggies. Leftover neonata keeps for a week and makes a great sandwich topping the next day.

Steps:
- Heat a grill to medium and oil the grates.
- On two large sheet pans, divide bell peppers, zucchini and eggplant. Drizzle the contents of each sheet pan with 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper, and toss to evenly coat. In batches, grill the vegetables, turning occasionally, until cut sides are tender and lightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes for the lettuce, 8 to 10 minutes for the zucchini, and 10 to 12 minutes for the peppers and eggplant. Transfer them to one very large (or two large) serving platters as they finish cooking.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine lemon juice, anchovies and garlic; whisk until well blended. And salami, cherry peppers, olives, celery, parsley and the remaining 3/4 cup oil, and mix well. (Makes about 2 cups neonata.)
- Generously drizzle or spoon some of the neonata over the grilled vegetables. Serve vegetables warm or at room temperature, with the remaining neonata on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the right bread. A sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings and won't get soggy is best for grilled sandwiches. Good options include sourdough, French bread, and ciabatta.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the sandwich will be. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and flavorful cheese.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to grilled sandwiches. Try different combinations of fillings, cheeses, and sauces to find your favorite.
- Grill the sandwich over medium heat. This will help prevent the bread from burning and the fillings from becoming dry.
- Press the sandwich down with a spatula while it's grilling. This will help the cheese melt and the fillings stay in place.
- Serve the sandwich immediately. Grilled sandwiches are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the grill.
