Serves 2

Ingredients:

Method:

  1. Tie your sprigs of fresh herbs together with some string to form an aromatic basting brush.
  2. For the herb oil, combine the remaining freshly chopped herbs, garlic, lemon zest, Dijon mustard and olive oil. 
  3. Preheat your grill or barbecue and cook your peppers for 4-5 mins on a high heat. Brush regularly with the herb oil and cook until charred and blistered. Grill your halved lemons too for extra sweetness.
  4. Serve on a platter with the remaining herb oil, a good pinch of sea salt (if you happen to have smoked – do use it!) and lots of lemon juice. Crumble over some tangy, creamy feta, if you like.
