Ragoût of Summer Vegetables with Vanilla Beurre Blanc

This is a perfect summer dish as it’s colourful, light and fresh. The vegetables only need a minimal amount of cooking before they are coated in a light butter sauce, scented with fresh vanilla seeds and thyme. One small point – don’t over do the vanilla or you will disturb the delicately balanced flavour of the dish. It’s delicious served on its own or with roasted meats.
