Grilled Veges


Grilled veges are a great way to beat hunger pains - especially in the winter months when you are craving something warm, comforting and delicious.

I like to heat up my Le Creusset griddle pan, slice some eggplant, zucchini, tomato and all of those other meaty vegetables, brush them with a yummy olive oil and grill them until they are soft and marked by the charcoal stains of the pan.
Mmmmmmmmm! So delicious and really good for you.

Serve with freshly ground seasalt and some cracked pepper, and even some chopped fresh herbs.

This is a fabulous snack, or side dish, especially if you are watching your weight.
Most vegetables have little or no fat - my favourites - eggplant, zucchini and tomato are all virtually fat free. Use your imagination and use other veges like squash or fennel, and pour some capers over the top to sizzle with the veges for some extra flavour.
You won't need a lot of oil but it's worth it for that extra flavour.
