Ingredients
  

  • 3 courgettes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ lemon juice
  • 12.5 grams mint torn leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic cloves crushed
  • 400 grams natural yogurt
  • 20 grams dill fronds roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Heat a griddle pan over a high heat (or heat up the barbecue). Halve the courgettes lengthways, brush with 1-2 tbsp oil and season. Put face down on the griddle for 5-6 minutes (or cook on the barbecue) until grill lines form. Flip over and cook for 2-3 minutes to soften the skin side a little.
  • Transfer the courgettes to a chopping board and cut into thin slices widthways. While they are still warm, put in a bowl and mix with the lemon juice and most of the mint; season. Set aside for 10 minutes then add the garlic, yogurt, dill and 1 tbsp oil; mix well and serve with another drizzle of oil and the remaining mint.
