Mediterranean Grilled Garden Vegetables

Here is the recipe for last week's dish,


  • 1 red capsicum
  • 1 green capsicum - de-seed and cut into 3 cm square
  • 1 yellow capsicum
  • 1 carrot cut into slices of approx 0.8 cm thick
  • 2 red onion peeled and cut into quarters
  • 7 garlic with skin, squash with the heel of your hand
  • 10 cherry tomatoes
  • Black pepper freshly cracked
  • Sea salt 
  • Olive oil
  • A bunch of fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • A bunch of fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Baharat spices or 1 teaspoon freshly pounded coriander seeds

  1. Preheat oven at 200 deg Celsius.
  2. Put all the veg in a roasting tray. Scatter the Baharat spices or ground coriander, salt and black pepper. Drizzle with a generous amount of olive oil and toss to coat.
  3. Bake in the oven for about 20 to 25 mins or until vegetables are tender.
  4. Turn the vegetables a few time while grilling so that they cook evenly.

Serve with grilled chicken, meat or fish or simply with couscous. They make a delicious and nutritious meal.

Welcome


I have never really liked to cook until I started writing food reviews professionally. Since then I can't resist a cookbook and I view food from a different perspective. I must say I have a good palette and high expectation where food is concerned. Follow my blog to know where are the best places to go for good Halal food. However, if you don't feel like eating out, you can always try out my recipes.
