- Summer
- Family Meals
We popped down the road (literally!) to see our friends, The Pig. We met Head Group Chef Andy, who showed us around their stunning kitchen gardens, and we whipped up some delicious dishes with their fresh produce and our organic yogurt - a match made in heaven. Roll on the recipes...
Golden, buttery courgettes meet a zesty, herby yogurt dressing in this fresh and vibrant dish that’s as pretty as it is delicious. Finished with crunchy toasted seeds and optional edible flowers, it’s a simple showstopper that feels like summer on a plate!
Ingredients
2 courgettes, cut lengthways
2 drizzles rapeseed oil
Sea salt flakes, to season
1 generous knob of Yeo Valley Organic Salted Butter mixed with 1 sprig of fresh savoury or thyme (chopped)
2 handfuls of pumpkin & sunflower seeds
2 sprigs of fresh tarragon
2 sprigs of fresh parsley
2 sprigs of fresh basil
½ red chilli
6-8 tbsp Yeo Valley Organic Natural Yogurt
½ lemon, juice and zest
Salt and pepper to taste
Edible flowers and fresh basil leaves to garnish (optional)
Method
Score the cut side of the courgette in a criss-cross pattern all the way along the courgette(s). Pour over one drizzle of the rapeseed oil and season with some sea salt flakes.
Heat your pan until hot, and add your courgette(s), cut side down, and cook on a medium heat until golden brown.
Add the butter with the herbs in. Cook for another minute and turn over. Cook for 1 minute and leave to rest in the butter.
Whilst the buttery courgette(s) is cooking, toast the pumpkin and sunflower seeds in the oven on a low to medium height, with the second drizzle of rapeseed oil and sea salt flakes until golden brown.
Finely chop the tarragon, parsley, basil & chilli and stir together with the yogurt, lemon zest and lemon juice.
To serve, spoon the yogurt onto the plate and place the courgettes – scored side up – on top of the yogurt. Sprinkle over the toasted seeds and finish with a small extra drizzle of oil all over.
If you like, garnish with some edible flowers and fresh basil leaves.
