COURGETTE, RICOTTA AND SUNDRIED TOMATO ROLLUPS RECIPE

Makes 10

2 courgettes, cut lengthways into 1/2cm slices

2 Tbsp olive oil

125g ricotta

50g goat feta

2 tsp finely grated lemon zest

1 cup rocket leaves

5 sundried tomatoes, halved lengthways
  1. Preheat a barbecue or griddle pan to a medium heat.
  2. Brush the courgettes with oil and cook on each side for 3 or 4 minutes until softened. Remove and cool.
  3. In a small bowl combine the ricotta, feta and lemon zest, mixing well.
  4. When ready to roll, place the courgettes on to a board. Spread each with a tablespoon of ricotta, and add a couple of rocket leaves and a half-sundried tomato. Roll and secure if needed, although they should stick together.
  5. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
