Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 5 min.

Greek-style stuffed courgettes : Stage 1

Prepare 500 g courgette.

Cut in half lengthways.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 5 min.

Greek-style stuffed courgettes : Stage 2

Hollow out the centre with a teaspoon or, ideally, a pommes parisiennes spoon.

Do not throw the flesh away, as it can be used in another recipe, such as quick courgette soup with cheese.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 5 min.

Greek-style stuffed courgettes : Stage 3

Toast 100 g pine nuts in a small frying pan on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 3 min.

Greek-style stuffed courgettes : Stage 4

Cut 150 g feta into small pieces and put into a high-sided container.

Add the juice and zest of ½ lemon and pepper.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 2 min.

Greek-style stuffed courgettes : Stage 5

Add 3 sprigs parsley whole (with the stalks), then the toasted pine nuts and 4 tablespoons olive oil.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 3 min.

Greek-style stuffed courgettes : Stage 6

Blend, adding a little more oil if necessary.

I call this "Greek pesto", with a nod to our Italian friends, of course...

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Stage 7 - ⌛ 3 min.

Greek-style stuffed courgettes : Stage 7

Salt the insides of the courgette halves, then brush inside and out with a little olive oil.

Arrange on a sheet of cooking parchment laid on a baking sheet.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 4 min.

Greek-style stuffed courgettes : Stage 8

Fill each courgette half generously with the feta mixture (a forcing bag is ideal for this).

You can top with a few breadcrumbs if you wish.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 20 min.

Greek-style stuffed courgettes : Stage 9

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Do not overcook or the courgettes will sag and flatten. This doesn't affect the flavour but they are less attractive.

Stage 10

Serve hot or warm.

Remarks

Choose small courgettes if you can, or medium size that are still crunchy, as they will hold up better during cooking.

Keeping: Should be eaten right away.
