First make the meatballs from
the veal mince. They should be the size of small golf
balls.
-
In a large frying pan, heat
the oil and fry the meatballs, shaking the pan until
browned all over, followed by the tomatoes, oregano,
balsamic vinegar and sugar. Season to taste.
-
While the sauce thickens,
brush the aubergine slices with olive oil and griddle on a
high heat for 2 mins each side, then remove. Next brush
the cut side of the ciabatta with olive oil and warm on
the griddle.

To assemble the sandwich,
place 2 slices of aubergine, 6 meatballs, parmesan and
salad leaves in each roll. Eat warm.
