Ingredients
- 5 small/medium courgettes, sliced lengthways into long strips using a Y-shaped peeler
- 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 200g kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- ½ red chilli, chopped
- 1 lemon
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp red wine vinegar
- 2 drizzles clear honey
- 150g soft rinded goat’s cheese (we used Chavroux La Bûche Pure Goat’s Cheese)
- Handful fresh mint leaves, torn if large
Method
- Toss the courgettes in 1 tbsp of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Heat a griddle pan until hot, then grill the courgettes on both sides, in batches, for 4-5 minutes until tender with clear char lines.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a bowl, combine the remaining olive oil, olives, chilli, zest of the lemon and a squeeze of juice, oregano, vinegar, a drizzle of honey and plenty of salt and pepper.
- Arrange the courgettes on a platter and spoon over the olives and dressing, dot with the goat’s cheese and scatter with mint leaves. Drizzle with honey and serve.
