  2. Prepare the sauce for polenta and vegetables: In a bowl, mix together olive oil, herbs, coriander, 1 teaspoon of pepper and fennel leaves.
  3. To grill vegetables: Rub the fennel bulbs and broccoli with the herb mixture and season with salt. Grill on the cooler side of the grill, turning once, until tender and charred, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a platter.

    Meanwhile, rub the oranges, tomatoes, mushrooms, and radicchio with the herb mixture and season with salt. Grill the vegetables over an open flame on the hotter side of the grill, turning once, until tender and charred, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
  4. Prepare polenta and grilled cheese: Rub the polenta and halloumi cheese with the herb mixture and grill the vegetables over an open flame on the hotter side of the grill, turning once, until charred, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with the remaining herbs.
