Toss them in a large mixing bowl with a generous drizzle of EVOO and a tablespoon or two of honey. Add a few good pinches of Mediterranean seasoning mix, and a tablespoon or two of fennel seeds. Add some chopped aromats (red shallots and garlic, if desired) squeeze of lime and season with salt to taste.<\/li>\n<li>On a grill pan: turn down heat slightly and grill veggies in batches till slightly charred but not burnt. Veg should still be firm inside to retain a crunchy texture.<\/li>\n<li>In the oven: Arrange veggies on baking sheet in a single layer. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes each side, depending on thickness.<\/li>\n<li>Serve immediately with a side of Labna topped with a trickle of honey. Any leftovers maybe refrigerated for later use as salad tossed with a vinaigrette dressing combined with more of the Labna.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Happy cooking!<\/p>\n<p>Chef Nelly<\/p>\n<p>Here is an example of some potent, nutrient packed purple fruits and vegetables;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blueberries<\/li>\n<li>Blackberries<\/li>\n<li>Red dragon fruit<\/li>\n<li>Black currants<\/li>\n<li>Black grapes<\/li>\n<li>Plums<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n  \n    <div class=\"row large-columns-1 medium-columns- small-columns- row-xsmall\" >\n  <div class=\"gallery-col col\" >\n          <div class=\"col-inner\">\n            <a class=\"image-lightbox lightbox-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hawthornegarage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hawthorne-purple-platter-01-944x1024.jpg\" title=\"\">            <div class=\"box has-hover gallery-box box-none\">\n              <div class=\"box-image image-cover\" style=\"padding-top:100%;\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2083\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hawthornegarage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hawthorne-purple-platter-01.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"Hawthorne Purple Platter 01\" ids=\"1862\" style=\"none\" lightbox_image_size=\"large\" col_spacing=\"xsmall\" columns=\"1\" image_height=\"100%\" image_size=\"original\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hawthornegarage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hawthorne-purple-platter-01.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.hawthornegarage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hawthorne-purple-platter-01-553x600.jpg 553w, https:\/\/www.hawthornegarage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hawthorne-purple-platter-01-944x1024.jpg 944w, https:\/\/www.hawthornegarage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hawthorne-purple-platter-01-768x833.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hawthornegarage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hawthorne-purple-platter-01-1416x1536.jpg 1416w, https:\/\/www.hawthornegarage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hawthorne-purple-platter-01-1888x2048.jpg 1888w, https:\/\/www.hawthornegarage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hawthorne-purple-platter-01-600x651.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>                                                              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"box-text text-left\" >\n                 <p><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/a>          <\/div>\n         <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our chef Nelly has shared with us her recipe to cooking some of her favourite purple vegetables.
