Baked Courgettes

Courgettes make a delicious accompaniment to any main meal.

When baked with cheese and herbs they compliment any meat or chicken dish.

Ingredients:

2 medium courgettes

2 garlic cloves

5ml sea salt

30ml olive oil

5ml butter

30ml grated parmesan cheese

10-15ml fresh thyme leaves

Freshly ground black pepper to season

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180C.

Chop the garlic and mash together with the sea salt to form a paste. Mix with the oil and butter.

Cut the courgettes in half lengthwise and place on a baking tray. Spread with the garlic paste and sprinkle with the grated parmesan cheese and thyme leaves. Season with freshly ground black pepper and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the courgettes are soft and browned on top.
