Healthy eating: Grilled courgette with feta and herbs steals the show

Salty cheese, aromatic herbs, and my favorite this year—grilled courgette. With just a few ingredients, I can create a delicious dish that will appear in my home many times this summer. I recommend you do the same!

For as long as I can remember, I've had trouble coming up with ideas for a healthy dinner. I wanted dishes that wouldn't burden my stomach or give me heartburn but would taste good. Eventually, I had to accept that ham and ketchup toasts disagreed with my stomach, and I had to take decisive action. The question was: what to prepare? One of the ingredients that caught my interest back then was courgette.

The first choice fell on courgette pancakes. I still like them today, although I must admit that just thinking about finding an alternative to this dish relieved me. I decided to go with the flow: I cut the courgette into rounds, grilled it, and added a few other ingredients. Suddenly, I realised I'd created the perfect dinner and an excellent addition to a family barbecue. I've implemented this composition numerous times and am relieved to say it has been enjoyed by me and other family members.

Preparation is straightforward, and the full recipe for this courgette dish is listed below. How will you use it? As a dinner idea, a daytime snack, or perhaps a side dish for grilled pork shoulder? You'll figure something out!

Ingredients:

• 1 courgette,
• 200 grams of feta,
• A handful of pine nuts (or others),
• A bunch of parsley,
• A bit of lemon juice,
• Olive oil,
• Dried rosemary,
• Salt, pepper.

Instructions:

• Wash the courgette, then dry it and cut it into medium-thick slices.
• Brush the vegetables with olive oil and season with a bit of salt, pepper, and dried rosemary.
• Grill the courgette prepared this way on a grill pan. Alternatively, you can use an oven: preheat to 175°C and bake for about 20 minutes.
• Finally, drizzle the courgette with lemon juice and sprinkle with feta cheese, chopped parsley, and nuts. It's ready to eat!
