Aubergine has graced Sudanese tables for centuries, and in this sandwich it finds a new and satisfying form. Tender pieces of smoky aubergine are slow-cooked with warming spices until silky and rich, then nestled into a crusty roll alongside fresh arugula and ripe tomato. The contrast is everything: soft and smoky against crisp and bright, earthy depth lifted by the peppery greens.
