ENTREE: Grilled Vegetable and Haloumi Stack. This tasty vegetarian stack is a dinner party standard, yet so easy to make.
1 small eggplant, thickly sliced lengthways
2 medium capsicums (1 red, 1 yellow), thickly sliced
2 small zucchini, thickly sliced lengthways
4 fresh flat mushrooms, stems removed
olive oil cooking spray
500g (2 cups) tomato-based pasta sauce
1 clove fresh garlic, crushed
2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped, plus extra to garnish
240g haloumi, thinly sliced
1 Preheat chargrill or barbecue and spray with oil. Spray the vegetables with oil. Cook vegetables on the chargrill for 5-10 minutes or until browned all over and just tender.
2 Meanwhile, combine tomato sauce and garlic in a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes or until thickened slightly. Stir in the oregano.
3 Just before serving, cook the haloumi on the chargrill for 1 minute each side or until browned lightly. Stack the mushrooms, vegetables and cheese on serving plates. Serve drizzled with tomato sauce. Garnish with oregano, if desired.
