Method

  1. Light the barbecue at least 40 mins before cooking. It’s ready when the large flames have died down, and the coals are white and ashy. Put the vegetables, oil, lemon zest and juice, vinegar and garlic in a medium mixing bowl, season and toss together until well combined. Cover and allow to marinate for 15 mins, or up to 1 hr.

  2. Lay two 30 x 40cm pieces of foil out and tip the marinated vegetables into the middle of one. Top with the reduced-fat salad cheese, then add the other piece of foil and scrunch the two together to make a parcel. Place the parcel on the centre of the grill for 20-25 mins or until just tender.

  3. To serve, gently open the parcel and sprinkle over the chilli, mint and parsley. Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over.

Tip: If you don’t have a barbecue, heat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C fan/gas 6 and bake the parcel for the same amount of time.
