Eat your vegetables!

Here are some simple sides for your tasting pleasure.

Warm Chickpeas
Can of chickpeas, well rinsed.
Sea salt.
Fresh ground pepper.
2 tbsp olive oil.

Warm on medium in a pan. The longer you warm the better they taste. 20 minutes makes them irresistable.

Pan-roasted Asparagus
Clean, clipped asparagus.
2 tbsp of your favourite balsamic vinaigre.
2 tbsp of olive oil.
1 clove of pressed garlic.
Sea salt and pepper.

Saute in a pan on medium for about 10 minutes.

Grilled Peppers
2 red, yellow or orange peppers.
4tbsp of your favourite vinaigrette.

Seed and quarter the peppers, toss in vinaigrette and grill on the BBQ for about 10 mins on medium heat. A slight char is the best.

Lemon Rosemary Potatoes
1/4 red onion, minced
a few pinches of chili flakes
3 cups of halved nuggest potatoes (pre-boil for about 8 minutes or until tender)
1/2 of a squeezed lemon (juice)
1 clove of garlic (minced)
Sea salt and pepper to taste.
1/2 tsp of rosemary (dried is ok)

Mix it all together, wrap well with aluminum foil and toss on the BBQ for about 15 minutes.
