CHARGRILLED MARITANED VEGETABLES

INGRIEDIENTS
• 2 red romero peppers
• 1 medium courgette
• 1 bulb of fennel
• 1 aubergine
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 TBSP herb or white wine vinegar
• 30g (1 oz) Principal Flavours Garlic Sauce
• 1 sweet potato peeled and cooked off
• 4 TBSP Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 large bunch of fresh basil leaves picked
PREPARATION
1. Wash all your vegetables. Heat the barbecue or a griddle pan, put all peppers on it and get them really black on all sides. While still hot, put them in a small bowl. Cover with cling film and leave to cool.
2. Slice your courgettes lengthways the same with fennel.
3. Grill the courgette and fennel together on the griddle pan for about a minute or so on each side or until nicely charred.
4. Cut aubergine across into slices. Grill off with sweet potato.
5. Take about a quarter of your basil leaves and wash them in a pestle and mortar with a good pinch of seasoning until you have a smooth pulp.
6. Add about 2 TBSP of extra virgin olive oil and the vinegar to taste. Pour this over the vegetables and toss quickly so that everything gets coated in the lovely basil oil. Then throw in the remaining whole basil. Mix everything together and serve on a large plate at room temperature. |
