Have you ever heard the expression “eat a rainbow?” This dish of grilled broccolini, cherry tomatoes and corn certainly fits the bill and it’s a cinch to make. I often make it for lunch when I’m working from home. It makes enough for two people to share, or you can have the leftovers the next day tossed with rocket, couscous or brown rice. If you’d like to make the dish more substantial, or stretch it to feed another person, top it with a couple of sliced soft boiled eggs. It makes a beautiful side dish for barbecued meat or fish. Serve straight from the grill or at room temperature. If you can’t find broccolini, try asparagus instead. It’s delicious!
Best wishes,
