| 1. Wash your vegetables. | 2. Heat the grill or griddle pan, put the whole peppers on and get them black on all sides. | 3. While still hot, put them in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave to cool. | 4. Slice the zucchini 1/4" thick and do the same to the fennel, reserving the herby tops. | 5. Grill the zucchini and fennel together on the grill for about a minute on each side, or until nicely charred. You don't want them too black or too raw. | 6. Remove to a clean dish towel in one layer, making sure they don't sit on top of each other or they will steam and get soggy. | 7. Cut the eggplant across into slices 1/2" thick. | 8. Grill the slices, turning 4 times to get the nice grill marks. | 9. Remove to the towel. | 10. Boil the baby leeks in salted water until they're just cooked. | 11. Drain and rub with a little olive oil, and grill until lightly marked. | 12. Peel the peppers and cut into strips. | 13. Put all the grilled vegetables into a big bowl. | 14. Take about 1/4 of the basil leaves and bash them with a mortar and pestle with a good pinch of seasoning until you have a smooth pulp. | 15. Add about 8 TBS of extra virgin olive oil and the vinegar, to taste. | 16. Pout this over the vegetables and toss quickly so that everything gets coated in the lovely basil oil, then throw in the remining basil leaves. | 17. Slice the garlic really thin to give you a delicate flavor and add to the bowl along with the fennel tops. | 18. Mix everything together, and serve on a large plate at room temperature. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
