Grilled courgette with goat’s cheese

This grilled courgette with goat’s cheese is ideal for a weekend lunch or you can serve it as a starter at a dinner party. Be careful with the rind - mine has melted too quickly! Serve it with toast, crostini or wholesome bread rolls.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 courgette
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • 2 small logs of goat’s cheese with rind
  • 1 handful wild rocket leaves
  • Balsamic glaze to serve

Method
 

  1. Using a vegetable peeler, cut the courgette into thin strips. Put them in a mixing bowl.
  2. Thinly slice the onion, add to the bowl. Drizzle with the oil and vinegar, add the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Combine gently.
  3. Heat a griddle pan and grill the courgette and onion slices (in batches) over a medium heat.
  4. Transfer them to another bowl and keep warm.
  5. Using the leftover marinade, coat the rind of the goat’s cheese logs then grill on both sides for a couple of minutes, or until it starts melting.
  6. Meanwhile, toss the courgette and onion with the rocket leaves and arrange on two plates. Put the grilled goat’s cheese on top and drizzle with some balsamic glaze just before serving.
