Method

  • Heat the grill to its highest setting. Spread the sliced vegetables out on a reusable baking sheet, cut-side up, and grill for 10-15 mins until they begin to soften and blister. Or use a pan if you prefer. Adjust timing depending on veg you are using.

  • Bring a medium-sized pan of water to the boil. Tip the buckwheat into a frying pan and dry fry over a medium heat for 3 mins until lightly toasted.

  • Add the buckwheat to the boiling water and cook for 8-10 mins. Drain and toss with the oil.

  • Leave to cool down for 5 mins.

  • Toss the warm buckwheat, lentils, cherries, walnuts, lemon juice, chilli and most of the chopped herbs in a bowl.

  • Spread out on a serving plate and top with the vegetables, remaining herbs and cheese.
