Mediterranean Salad



Nice easy and quick this one and can be prepared well in advance.
Slice your veg of choice I used courgettes, aubergine, red pepper, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and baby artichokes.
Slice up all the veg (except the chokes) and brush with oilve oil and season. Cook in batches on a hot griddle and place in a covered bowl, they will keep warm and continue to cook in the steam. Only the aubergines have to be cooked throughly as all the others are just as nice partialy cooked.
Remove the tough outer leaves from the chokes and peel the stalks. Chop off the tough tops and place in a pan of salted water with lemon added to stop them discolouring. Bring to the boil and simmer gently until cooked. Drain and dress with a dash more lemon and oilve oil and leave to cool.
When cooled cut the chokes into halves or quarters and griddle.
Dress all the veg with olive oil and a dash of good vinegar, season with salt and pepper and add chopped fresh parsley and some dried oregano and serve.
Asparagus (griddled or steamed) and fennel would also work very well.
