I love grilled vegetables! Grilling your veg is so easy and makes them even tastier. The chickpea puree can be used as a dip by adding less of the cooking water so you can also enjoy it with crackers, carrots and celery.

How to make Courgette & Eggplant with Chickpea Puree

4. Sprinkle the courgette, eggplant and sweet pepper pieces liberally with Herbamare® Original seasoning salt and leave to rest for 30mins.
5. Rinse the vegetables in cold water and pat dry. Brush both sides with a little olive oil.
6. Cook the vegetables briefly under the grill on both sides until they start to colour.
7. Serve the vegetables with the puree and parsley. Sprinkle with pepper.
