Baked Stuffed Courgettes
The tangy goat's cheese stuffing contrasts well with the very delicate flavour of the courgettes in this recipe. Wrap the courgettes and bake them in the embers of the fire.
Ingredients
8 small courgettes, about 450g/1lb total weight
15ml/1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing
75-115g/3-4oz goat's cheese, cut into thin strips
A few sprigs of fresh mint, finely chopped, plus extra to garnish
Freshly ground black pepper

Serves: 4
Method
1. Cut eight pieces of baking foil large enough to encase each courgette, and lightly brush each piece with olive oil. Trim the courgettes and cut a thin slit along the length of each.
2. Insert pieces of goat's cheese in the slits. Add a little chopped mint and sprinkle over the oil and black pepper.
3. Wrap each courgette in foil, place in the embers of the fire and bake for about 25 minutes, until tender.
Cook's Tip:- While almost any cheese can be used in this recipe, mild cheeses such as Cheddar or mozzarella, will best allow the flavour of the courgettes to be appreciated.
