Asian inspired chargrilled baby gems

I don't know about you but I often run out of ideas about what to have for lunch. I like it tasty, healthy and not too heavy so I don't end-up wanting a nap afterwards. This recipe fits it all. "Asian inspired baby gems". It's also super quick to rustle-up.
(P.S I do realise not everybody has the opportunity to work from home and prepare this, it's a good one for a lazy Saturday)

Ingredients:

One baby gem per person 

One spring onion

Grated ginger (the size of a tea spoon)

One tsp of soy sauce

One tsp of sweet chilli sauce

Zest and juice of one lime

You will need a griddle pan for this recipe

Method:

Prepare the Asian sauce. In a bowl, mix the soy, chilli sauce, lime and ginger. Add the chopped spring onion and mix. Set aside.

Put your griddle pan on a high heat. Halve or quarter the baby gems, brush both sides with olive oil, and grill until slightly charred and tender.

Once your baby gems are tender, drizzle them with the Asian sauce and serve with avocado and pan fried sea bass.

And that is it! As simple and as delicious as that!

Bon appétit!

Tip: the dressing can also be used on any salad.

What vegetable can you char?

Any vegetable works, at this time of year I also chargrill leeks, it intensifies their flavour and sweetness.
