GRILLED VEGETABLES
• 2 large portabello steaks
• 400g portabellini mushrooms, sliced in half
• 1 red onion, sliced into thick rounds
• 2 pearl onions, sliced in half
• 1 head of romaine / cos lettuce, sliced in half

For the dressing, in a blender, combine all the ingredients.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Thin out with a little cold water if desired.
For the vegetables, preheat braai or griddle pan to medium-high heat.
One vegetable at a time, toss in a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill in batches, flipping once, until tender and lightly charred.
To get really defined grill marks, press the vegetables down using a metal spatula as you place them on the griddle pan / braai.
Serve the grilled vegetables scattered with micro herbs and fresh radish, along with a generous drizzle of the herb dressing.
