| baked courgettes with feta, tomato, mint & marjoram |
My seasonal recipe for baked courgettes with feta, tomato, mint and marjoram is a real taste of summer. I added fresh marjoram and mint because I have this growing in abundance in our garden, but it would be equally delicious with basil or coriander.
The baked courgettes can be served as a vegetarian main dish or are good as a vegetable side dish too. It's so quick and simple to put together. I hope you enjoy and do let me know how it goes. Do feel free to share your favourite seasonal recipes too.

Oh this sounds lovely! I have so many courgettes in my fridge just now - I swear they are multiplying in there! This sounds like a delicious way to use them up :) Thanks for sharing with the No Waste Food Challenge!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much - so quick and simple and lovely fresh flavours. We had it with roast chicken as a side dish, but would be happy with this as a vegetarian main with some crusty bread too :-)
DeleteI had some globe courgettes earlier in the year and served them stuff - they were great but it's quite rare to spot globe varieties on sale in the UK so not a dish I get to make often. Thanks for submitting to Credit Crunch Munch, your entry has now been featured in this month’s round up.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Sarah - happy to be taking part. I was lucky enough to be given these lovely courgettes from a friends garden - not so common in the shops. Thanks for hosting too :-)
DeleteOh they sound very lovely, I adore the combination of courgette with feta, and especially delish with all those herbs too. Thanks so much for another yummylicious entry to November's Family Foodies
