How to Make Aaron Craze's Aussie Sandwich
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
- Add a pinch of salt.
- Slowly drizzle in 1 cup olive oil, whisking constantly until the mixture emulsifies into a thick aioli (like mayonnaise).
- Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic and the juice of ½ lemon.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Slice a large (approximately 8-inch) piece of focaccia in half horizontally.
- Drizzle both cut sides of the focaccia with 1 tablespoon olive oil and toast on a griddle pan or in a skillet over medium heat until lightly golden and crisp.
- Prepare your vegetables: thinly slice 1 red onion, 1 red bell pepper, and ½ cup cucumber. Wash and roughly chop 1 cup cherry tomatoes and a small handful of fresh basil leaves. Diagonally slice 1-2 fresh red chillies (adjust to your spice preference).
- Spread a generous layer of aioli on both halves of the toasted focaccia.
- Layer the vegetables on one half of the focaccia: start with the red onion, followed by the red bell pepper, cucumber, tomatoes, and basil.
- Scatter the sliced chillies over the vegetables.
- Top with the other half of the focaccia and gently press down.
- Slice the sandwich in half diagonally, and serve immediately.
