• Combine the garlic, preserved lemon, onion, capers, anchovies, and vinegar in a food processor until the ingredients come together. Add the fresh herbs, with the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil until a bright green, chunky mixture forms. Squeeze in the lemon juice and season with a pinch of sea salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, add the prepped veggies and a ¼ cup of the salsa verde. Toss until evenly coated and season lightly with salt and pepper.

• Double or triple the salsa verde recipe and save some for later! In addition to grilled vegetables, it's delicious as a topping on fish, chicken or steak. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for later use.

GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH SALSA VERDE AND FETA

Steps:

• Make the salsa verde: cut off the lower stems of the herbs up to where the leaves start and discard them. Measure a cup of each herb. Use a blender or food processor and blend together basil, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, jalapeño, salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and olive oil until it has a pesto consistency. Transfer into a small bowl and set aside.
• Meanwhile, prepare a stovetop grill pan on medium/high heat. Brush the grill with canola oil . Drizzle a little olive oil on the vegetables. Season them with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste and toss to coat. Grill zucchini, red bell pepper 3 to 4 minutes on each side until you see grill marks. For the spring onion and tomatoes, they cook faster so grill it for only 1-2 minutes on each side. (Grilling can be done on an outdoor grill but use a grill basket or grill pan as vegetables tend to fall off in between the grates)
• Arrange grilled vegetables in rows on a platter. Top with prepared salsa verde and crumbled feta. Drizzle with a little more olive oil.

Pour 1/2 cup of salsa verde over the lamb, turning the lamb to coat evenly. Use immediately, or cover the dish and remaining salsa verde separately with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 1 day.
• Spray the grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill the lamb until a meat thermometer inserted into the thicker parts registers 130 degrees F for medium-rare, turning occasionally, about 40 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a work surface and let rest 15 minutes.
