As the warm August sun bathes the countryside, it's the perfect time to celebrate the bounty of seasonal produce with a Grilled Vegetable Platter. This delightful dish captures the essence of summer with its vibrant colours and fresh flavours, making it an ideal addition to any al fresco gathering or barbecue.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium courgettes, sliced lengthwise
- 2 medium yellow squash, sliced lengthwise
- 1 large aubergine, sliced into rounds
- 2 large bell peppers (assorted colours), halved and deseeded
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1 red onion, sliced into rounds
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: balsamic glaze, fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions:
1. Begin by preheating your barbecue to a medium-high heat setting.
2. In a large mixing bowl, carefully coat the sliced courgette, yellow squash, aubergine, bell peppers, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and red onion with olive oil until evenly covered. Remember to season them generously with salt and pepper.
3. Once the barbecue is adequately heated, place the vegetables on it, ensuring they are not overcrowded. If necessary, grill the vegetables in batches to ensure even cooking.
4. Grill the vegetables for approximately 3-5 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a tender texture with visible grill marks. Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the vegetables.
