Vegetable stack
It's like that Kellogs Cornflakes ad: Sometimes the simple things in life are often the best. And when you have a fridge full of red capsicum, early-spring asparagus, rocket lettuce and home-grown zucchini you have the making of such a satisfying dinner. I just grilled all the vegies (bar the rocket!) with a sprinkling of dried oregano (the stuff from Greece dried on silent mountainsides by young virgins...), olive oil and salt flakes. I then made a restaurant-style TOWER! of criss-crossed vegetables layered with some home-made pesto and different types of soft cheese we had (herbed goats cheese - yum! and light cream cheese), some Italian proscuitto for smoky saltiness and a touch of the fab unrefined honey for just that hint of sweetness.
Very satisfying - both in taste and in the knowledge of the goodness of lots of healthy vegetables getting into your body. And very quick to make on a worknight.

The vegetables look so appealing - all those fabulous colors together. It's like a party on a plate.
I love visiting your site.

I love char grilled vegetables yours look so nice and fresh.
They are also good on pizza bases -just wholemeal lebanese bread, pesto and a bit of cheese one of my favourite quick meals.

Oh my! Now it's know what it's like to watch "spring" from "fall". You'll have to inspire us through the winter ... Alanna

Gorgeous and tasty looking! I'm almost sad that we're ending summer over here ... asparagus is long gone.
