Directions:
- Butter each slice on on side.
- Peel the tomatoes, slice off the uneven end on one side, and press out some of the liquid and seeds.
- Peel and slice the onion.
- Cover 4 slices buttered bread with single layers of tomato slices.
- Sprinkle the tomato layer with either the fresh, chopped basil or the dried basil.
- Season with salt and white pepper to taste, but freshly ground black pepper is also fine.
- Cover the tomato layer on each slice with a layer of sliced sweet onion.
- Using the other 4 buttered slices, lay them on top of this filling.
- Using kitchen twine (have scissors handy), make a parcel by tying up each sandwich like you would a parcel, so that it will not fall apart on the grill. Do not wrap it in any covering such as foil!
- Then pour the olive oil in a small bowl, and, using a pastry or barbecue sauce brush, brush the parcels on both sides with olive oil. This will help them brown and crisp on the outside.
- Grease your grill grid with non-stick spray or brush with butter. Grill the sandwiches over medium-to-low heat, turning a few times, until golden brown on both sides. (They're really best over medium coals on an outside grill).
- Each person cuts off the twine at the table. With enough grilled meat and these parcel sandwiches you don't need much more than a large mixed salad to make a complete meal.
