Aaaaaantipastiiiiiiiiii Series 3

I know I said that I would just do 2 series of antipasti... but I could not help myself. I had to share this recipe for grilled vegetables. It compliments as side dish to meats, especially beef and is very healthy. Here is something which I picked up in my latest travels to Italy, key ingredients - Olive oil, herbs, salt and pepper... So easy!

Ingredients
Selection of vegetables - I use yellow and red peppers, courgettes and portobello mushrooms
Herbs - Garlic and lots of thyme
1/4 of lemon
Olive oil
Salt and pepper


Preparation time: 15mins
Cooking time: 10mins
Level of difficulty: Easy peasy


Start by making the flavoured oil - Crush 4-5 cloves of garlic and thyme together, mix together with about 75ml of olive oil. Add salt and pepper to season.
While the oil is being infused with all the flavours, prepare the vegetable.
Cut and remove the seeds from the peppers, thinly slice the courgettes and prepare the mushrooms as in Kitchen Tip#5.
Use a brush and generously brush the flavoured oil onto the vegetables.
Heat the grill on high until it is hot.
Place the vegetable on the grill and turn only when you see the sides char a little.
Once done, squeeze the lemon juice over for a little zing!

I love grilled vegetables! And if you like a bit more seasoning to it, just add a small pinch of salt to them at the end.
