Courgettes are one of our favourite things to cook on the BBQ, though of course they can be done inside on a griddle pan if the weather isn’t kind. This green chutney adds a welcome chilli smoky kick.
—
Coat the sliced courgettes in 100ml of the olive oil and season generously, set aside.
To make the coriander chutney, add all the ingredients into a food processor and blitz until smooth, adding more olive oil if needed.
Once the BBQ or griddle pan is piping hot, cook on a high heat for 2 minutes before flipping the courgettes over. You’ll need to cook in small batches. Cooking tongs are useful to avoid burnt fingers. The courgettes should char and blacken slightly but hold their shape.
Mix the drained feta, yogurt and olive oil with a whisk until smooth. Add the lemon juice and zest and mix again. Cover the bottom of a large serving dish with the feta mixture.
Arrange the charred courgettes on top of the whipped feta, then drizzle the coriander chutney, finish with olive oil and chopped soft herbs.
