This vibrant vegetarian dish of grilled sweet peppers and corn is a celebration of summer flavours. Charring the peppers and sweetcorn on the barbecue lends a wonderful depth of smokiness that perfectly complements the natural sweetness of the vegetables. Steaming the peppers after grilling ensures they are easy to peel, resulting in a silky texture that pairs beautifully with the crunch of the corn.

Finished with a generous amount of fresh basil and melted butter, this colourful platter is an excellent accompaniment to a Mediterranean-style feast or any seasonal gathering. It is a simple yet sophisticated side dish that is naturally gluten-free and packed with nutrients. For a head start, you can prepare the peppers a day in advance and simply reheat them before serving.
