GRILLED SUMMER VEGETABLES WITH TAHINI DRESSING
Start up the grill for a crowd-pleasing platter of vegetables from the garden or farm stand. Take care to keep the fire medium-hot, so you can cook the vegetables without letting them become scorched or blackened. A bit of char is nice, of course, but don't try for perfect grill marks. Remove vegetables from the grill when they are just done. They're topped with a garlicky, lemony tahini dressing that serves as a perfect accompaniment.

Steps:
- Make the tahini dressing: Put tahini, lemon juice, cayenne and garlic in a small mixing bowl, and whisk until smooth. Whisk in olive oil, yogurt and a good pinch of salt.
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill, or a stovetop grill pan. Heat should be medium-high. Make sure grill racks are clean.
- Cut onions crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise. Remove stems and seeds, and discard. Cut each half in two, making eight pieces. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet or roasting pan.
- Cut zucchini and eggplant lengthwise or at an angle into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Brush slices with olive oil on both sides, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet or roasting pan.
- Cut tomatoes in half crosswise. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet or roasting pan.
- Grill onions and peppers (they take longer to cook): Set onion slices carefully on grill so they don't fall apart. Start peppers skin-side up. Peppers and onions should take 4 to 5 minutes per side. As they are done, remove to a serving platter.
- Grill zucchini and eggplant for about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Grill tomatoes on one side only, until heated through, about 5 to 6 minutes. As they are done, remove to a serving platter.
- Arrange vegetables in rows on the platter (or use two platters). Serve warm or at room temperature. Just before serving, drizzle tahini sauce over the vegetables. Sprinkle with paprika, if using, and shower with green herbs. Serve lemon wedges on the side.
GRILLED VEGGIES WITH CAPER BUTTER
We enjoy the tart, peppery taste of capers. No one likes a bland veggie, and caper butter helps peppers, squash and zucchini shine. -Danyelle Crum, Indian Trail, North Carolina

Steps:
- Slice the eggplant and zucchini lengthwise. Sprinkle the slices with salt and put them in a colander for 30 minutes to drain the bitter juices. Pat them dry with a dish towel.
- Preheat grill. Grill the red peppers until the skins blacken. Put them in a paper or plastic bag and close it. When the peppers are cool, slip off their skins. Cut the peppers in strips and set them aside.
- Lightly brush the remaining vegetables with some of the olive oil and grill the slices on both sides. Put them on a serving platter when they are done.
- While the vegetables are grilling, make the dressing. Combine the remaining oil with the garlic and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly. Arrange the vegetables on a platter and pour the dressing over them while they are still warm. Garnish with the red pepper strips and sprinkle with oregano, capers, sea salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature (do not refrigerate).

- Meanwhile, heat a separate large non-stick frying pan and add the halloumi. Cook for a few minutes until golden on both sides.

LEMON-CAPER DRESSING
Here's a salad dressing that falls somewhere between special-occasion Caesar and "toss lemon juice and olive oil onto lettuce." By adding a craggy paste of capers and garlic and a pouf of shaved Parmesan to the lemon and olive oil, you get a puckery, salty mix that's packed with umami, just like Caesar, but isn't weighed down by mayonnaise or egg yolks. It works great on arugula, Romaine, kale or radicchio; steamed or roasted vegetables; hard-boiled eggs; and even grains. The recipe developer's mom has been feeding her this dressing since she could chew. Ali adds a bit more garlic and lemon than what you'll find here, so adjust it until it tastes good to you.

Steps:
- On a cutting board, smash and coarsely mince the garlic. Add 10 grinds of fresh pepper and the capers to the garlic. Chop and press down on the mixture with the side of your knife until a coarse paste forms.
- Transfer the paste to a bowl, then stir in the lemon juice, followed by the Parmesan. Slowly add in the olive oil, stirring until emulsified. Taste on a lettuce leaf (or whatever you're dressing) and adjust as needed with acid (lemon), fat (olive oil), and salt (capers and cheese).

Steps:
- To make the dressing, mix the oil with the lemon zest and juice, capers, mustard, some seasoning and 1 tbsp water. Don't add the parsley yet (unless serving straight away) as the acid in the lemon will fade the colour if they are left together for too long.
- Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Line a baking tray with baking parchment and put the fish, skin-side up, on top. Brush the skin with oil and sprinkle with some flaky salt. Bake for 7 mins or until the flesh flakes when tested with a knife. Arrange the fish on warm serving plates, spoon over the dressing and scatter with extra parsley leaves, if you like.
