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.

5. Rinse the vegetables in cold water and pat dry. Brush both sides with a little olive oil.

The aubergine, courgette and sweet pepper slices can also be cooked on greaseproof paper at 200°C for 25 minutes.
