Courgettes can be pretty boring, and during Summer they are cheap snd plentiful. I found myself with a couple of largish courgettes and these can often be watery and tasteless.
I decided to try pimping them up with some some dried tomatoes and feta, and they were yummy. This makes a good lunch dish or you could serve them as a side dish and is fairly quick and easy.
Serves 2
2 Large courgettes
100 Grams Breadcrumbs
100 Grams Feta Cheese (crumbled into 1-2cm lumps
50 Grams Sun dried tomatoes in oil (roughly chopped)
1 Tsp Fresh oregano, or 1/2 tsp of dried (you can use any herbs you have, rosemary also works well, but use a bit less as it’s stronger)
1 Clove of garlic (finely chopped)
1 Tbsp Oil from the jar of sun dried tomatoes
A little extra oil for brushing the courgettes with
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (Celsius)
- Trim the top and bottom of the courgettes and cut in half length ways, use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds in the centre of the courgettes
- Brush with oil and place cut side down in a baking dish, and bake for 10 minutes
- In a large bowl combine the rest of the ingredients
- Remove the courgettes from the oven and over to the cut side with a spatula
- Fill the scooped out centre of the courgettes with the filling before returning to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes until the filling is golden brown
