Ingredients
  

  • * Zucchini: 2 medium-sized about 300 grams
  • * Bell peppers: 3 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green [around 400 grams combined]
  • * Portobello mushrooms: 4 [200 grams]
  • * Cherry tomatoes: 1 cup [150 grams]
  • * Asparagus: 1 bunch [200 grams]
  • * Olive oil: 3 tablespoons [45 ml]
  • * Salt and pepper to taste
**For the Tahini Dip:**
  • * Tahini: 1/2 cup [120 ml]
  • * Lemon juice: 3 tablespoons [45 ml]
  • * Garlic clove: 1 finely minced
  • * Olive oil: 2 tablespoons [30 ml]
  • * Cold water: 2-4 tablespoons [30-60 ml]
  • * Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • * Cumin optional: 1/4 teaspoon

Method
 

  1. Start by preparing your veggies: Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Slice the zucchini, bell peppers, and portobello mushrooms into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Keep the cherry tomatoes whole and trim the asparagus.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the vegetables with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss them until they're well-coated.
  4. Place the veggies on the grill. Cook them for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they get a nice char and are tender.
  5. While your veggies are grilling, let’s dive into the Tahini Dip. In a mixing bowl, combine tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and cumin (if using). Whisk them together.
  6. Gradually add the cold water to the mixture, one tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously until you get a creamy, smooth consistency.
  7. Remove the grilled veggies from the grill and place them on a serving platter.

Notes

1. Make sure your grill or grill pan is nice and hot before adding the veggies. This ensures you get that wonderful charred flavor without overcooking the insides.
2. If you're a fan of a little heat, add a pinch of chili flakes or some hot sauce to your Tahini Dip.
3. Always taste and adjust the seasoning of your Tahini Dip before serving. Everyone's palate is different, so make it perfect for you!
