Toss the asparagus and courgette in a bowl with the olive oil and season. Char the veg in batches on a hot BBQ, or in a griddle pan using a weight or a press to hold the spears down. Cook for 2-3 mins on each side until charred and tender. Transfer to a bowl while you cook the remaining veg. 2. Add the balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil to the bowl, and season.
