Make a big bowl of these so you can have them the next day too. Cook extra to have cold on a sandwich, pita or wrap for lunch.

Did You Know?

Olive oil is extracted by pressing or crushing olives. Olive oil comes in different varieties, depending on the amount of processing that it undergoes.

Varieties include:

Extra virgin – this oil is considered the best because it comes from the first pressing of the olives 

Virgin – the oil from the second pressing

Pure – the oil undergoes some processing, such as filtering and refining

Extra light this oil has been processed and only retains a very mild olive flavour

 
Chef Tips

Hot Grills

Always make sure your grill is pre-heated. This will ensure your foods are instantly sealed locking in all the flavour and juices.

Planning Ahead

If you make a packed lunch add some extra meat and vegetables at dinner time for your sandwich the next day.
