6 carrots (375 g)
2 lbs of asparagus, trimmed (1000 g)
4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (60ml)

To make the dip first roast the garlic. Cut the top off of the garlic bulb.
Using a fork, poke holes in the exposed garlic. Rub with olive oil and season
with cracked black pepper. Add a few sprigs of thyme and wrap it all in tin
foil. Place on the grill for approximately ½ hour.
When the garlic has completely roasted, squish the bulbs from the skin into a
blender. Add the chopped anchovies and butter and whiz. Season
with freshly ground pepper.
For the vegetables, cut the sweet Potatos, carrots, and red peppers lengthwise
into large even pieces (thirds or quarters) and place them in a large glass
bowl. Add the cherry tomatoes and asparagus. Add the olive oil and season
generously. Toss the vegetables.
Arrange the vegetables on the grill and cook for approximately 1 ½ minutes per
side with the lid up.
Serve warm with the dip on the side.
