Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Carefully scoop out and discard the watery core from the courgettes using a teaspoon, leaving a 1cm border. This should give you a ‘boat’ shape for the filling.

  • step 2

    Put the garlic, breadcrumbs, lemon zest, olive oil, oregano, thyme and a pinch of sea salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine.

  • step 3

    Carefully spoon the filling into the hollowed-out courgettes. Sprinkle the pine nuts on top and bake for 18-25 mins until the courgettes are tender and the crumbs golden.

RECIPE TIPS

MAKE IT YOUR OWN

The filling can be varied depending on your tastes. Try adding 50g grated parmesan (or a vegetarian alternative), or two anchovy fillets, finely chopped. You could also add chopped parsley for an extra bit of freshness.
