Festive Summer Roasted Vegetable Platter Recipe
I love how the shelves and stalls at farmers markets start filling up with the bounty of the season as summer starts spreading her wings. We are really fortunate in South Africa to have easy access to a vast selection of fresh vegetables. You can truly make this dish your own by using whatever vegetables are available. I also love mixing fresh vegetables, like sliced heirloom tomatoes, with the roasted vegetables and garnishing it with loads of fresh herbs from the garden. The best way to prepare this dish is by roasting it on a hot wood or coal fire!

Recipe
PREPARATION
- Prepare and slice equal amounts of tender-stem broccoli, red and yellow peppers, aubergines, baby marrows, and sliced lemon.
- Generously drizzle the vegetables with Willow Creek Parmesan Flavoured Extra Virgin Olive Oil and season with coarse salt and pepper.
- Slice some fresh heirloom tomatoes and season.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare a really hot coal or wood fire.
- Roast each selection of vegetables separately over the hot fire and set aside to rest.
- Arrange the roasted and fresh vegetables on a large platter and garnish with fresh flat-leaf parsley or any fresh, soft-stemmed garden herbs.
- Drizzle with more Willow Creek Parmesan Flavoured Extra Virgin Olive Oil and grate over some parmesan cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper.
NOTES & TIPS
Use any of the leftover roasted vegetables to make a pickle by simply putting them in a glass jar and covering them with red wine vinegar and olive oil. Add a sprig of fresh rosemary or origanum and some garlic. You can keep this in the fridge for up to a month.
