Steps:
- Start with the tomatoes. Preheat the oven to 350°F Mix the tomatoes with 3 tbsps of the olive oil and season with some salt and pepper. Spread them out on a baking tray lined with baking parchment, skin side down. Roast in the oven for 40-50 minutes, or until semi-dried. You can leave them there a bit more or a bit less, depending on how dry you like them. They will be delicious anyway. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
- Trim the woody bases of the asparagus and blanch for 4 minutes in plenty of boiling water. Drain and refresh under cold water, making sure the spears are completely cold. Drain well again, then transfer to a mixing bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the remaining olive oil and some salt and pepper.
- Slice the zucchinis very thinly lengthwise, using a mandolin or a vegetable peeler. Mix with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and some salt and pepper.
- Place a ridged griddle pan on a high heat and leave there for a few minutes. It should be very hot. Grill the zucchinis and asparagus, turning them over after about a minute. You want to get nice char marks on all sides. Remove and leave to cool.
- Heat the remaining 3 tbsp of olive oil in a pan. Fry the manouri cheese for 3 minutes on each side or until it is golden. Place on kitchen paper to soak up excess oil. Alternatively, chargrill the cheese on the hot griddle pan for about 2 minutes on each side.
- To make the basil oil, blitz all the ingredients in a blender until smooth. You might need to double the quantity for some blender blades to be effective. Keep any extra oil for future salads.
- To assemble, arrange the rocket, vegetables and cheese in layers on a flat serving plate. Try to build the salad up whilst showing all the individual components. Drizzle with as much basil oil as you like and serve.

Steps:
- Heat a griddle pan over a very high heat and add the olive oil - place the asparagus spears & spring onions in the pan, being careful that the oil does not spit and burn you.
- Cook for 2 to 4 minutes on one side, depending on the thickness and then turn over and continue to cook for a further 2 to 4 minutes. You are aiming for charred, but not burnt!
- Just before the end add the Balsamic vinegar and a little more oil if needed.
- Serve straight away with chopped fresh chives and chive flowers sprinkled over the top, and a lemon wedge per serving.

Steps:
- Heat a small frying pan and add the sesame seeds. Cook, shaking the pan and making sure the seeds don't burn. When they are fragrant and have turned a light teak colour, tip them onto a saucer.
- Steam the asparagus for 3-4 mins until almost done. Drop into a bowl of iced water to cool, then drain and wrap in a tea towel to dry really well. Cook the peas for 3 mins in the boiling water used to steam the asparagus, then drain and cool under a cold tap. Slice the courgettes on the diagonal, about 0.5cm thick.
- Heat a griddle pan until very hot. Brush the asparagus and courgette slices with the oil, and cook in batches until nicely striped with dark brown. Cut the asparagus into 5cm lengths.
- Mix the asparagus, courgettes, peas, rocket, feta and lemon zest. Grind over some black pepper and sprinkle with the sesame seeds before serving.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and tender asparagus and courgettes. Look for bright green asparagus spears that snap easily and courgettes that are firm and smooth.
- Trim the asparagus spears and halve the courgettes lengthwise. You can also peel the courgettes if desired.
- Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Grill the vegetables over medium heat until they are tender and slightly charred. This will take about 5-7 minutes per side for the asparagus and 3-4 minutes per side for the courgettes.
- Serve the grilled vegetables immediately with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of lemon juice, and crumbled manouri cheese.
Conclusion:
This simple and flavorful recipe is a great way to enjoy fresh summer vegetables. The grilled asparagus and courgettes are tender and slightly charred, and the manouri cheese adds a creamy and tangy flavor. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it can also be served as a side dish.
