Thank you Borlotti,I needed an excuse to pick a couple of Courgettes before they became marrow size !!!!!!
A tasty snack from my Diabetic recipes that goes well with Risotto..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
INGREDIENTS
2 or 3 Courgettes sliced into 5 mm slices lengthways.
2 Yellow Bell Peppers seeded and cut into large pieces
Jar Roasted Bell Peppers
Jar Sun Ripened Tomatoes
100G Feta cheese pieces
1 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
Small Bunch Rocket Leaves
Small Bunch Basil Leaves
Mixed Olives
Lemon segments to garnish
Ground Black Pepper
Salt
Toothpicks
Arrange Ingredients !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok lets Grill and soften our Courgette Slices and Yellow Pepper Pieces,it normally takes about 3 to 5 mins
once cooked through....leave the courgettes to one side and slice the yellow peppers in matchsticks.
While the slices are cooking lets make our paste.............
Its a bit trial and error as the paste wants to be thick enough to stick to the courgettes without running over the sides.
So I drain the Roasted Peppers and Tomatoes of any fluid,and put in the blitzzer....followed by 50g of Feta Cheese pieces and a few mixed olives and a good squeeeeeze of Fresh Lemon and season well........now blittzzz for 1 minute....this should produce a spreadable consistency !!!!!!
Once your happy with the resulting Paste either use straight away or cover and fridge for a few days.
Now lay out your Courgette slices......smear them with the paste.....and top with a few pieces of Rocket and Basil Leaves
followed by the yellow pepper matchsticks.....now season again and roll up from end to end.,,and secure with a wooden toothpick.
Once rolled they are eaten as starters at room temp to taste all the flavours, or serve with other diners,your choice !!!!
I enjoyed it today with Chicken Risotto and a good drizzle of Olive Oil !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
