How to Clean your BBQ

Method

  • 1. Preheat barbecue grill plate to moderately high.

  • 2. To make the marinade, combine the red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, cumin, mustard, chilli flakes and olive oil in a bowl and whisk. Set aside.

  • 3. Arrange all vegetables on two large baking sheets and brush with half the marinade. Season with salt and pepper.

  • 4. Cook vegetables in batches, until tender and slightly charred, turning once or twice. Grill onions and spring onions for 6 minutes. Grill courgettes for 6-7 minutes. Grill eggplant for 8 minutes. Grill capsicum for 10-12 minutes.

  • 5. To serve, arrange vegetables on a platter and drizzle remaining marinade over the top. Scatter with basil, orange zest and capers.

  • Tip: Eggplants don’t need to be kept in the fridge – they should be kept at room temperature otherwise they may go brown and develop a bitter flavour.
