Grilled Courgette and Tomatoes with Feta Sauce

This vibrant grilled courgette and tomatoes dish is a wonderful celebration of summer produce. The smoky, charred notes of the griddled vegetables contrast beautifully with a silky, zesty feta sauce enriched with fresh basil and lemon. By keeping the cherry tomatoes on the vine, they retain their sweet juices and provide a sophisticated look to this simple vegetarian side dish.

Ideal for hosting a garden barbecue or as a light lunch, this recipe is naturally gluten-free and packed with Mediterranean flavour. The sauce can be prepared in advance, leaving you free to focus on the grill. Serve it alongside crusty sourdough bread to mop up the creamy sauce, or as an elegant accompaniment to protein-rich mains and seasonal salads.

How to make Grilled Courgette and Tomatoes with Feta Sauce

Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas). (If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When Charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to determine heat for charcoal as follows: Hot: When you can hold your hand there for 1 to 2 seconds; Medium-hot: 3 to 4 seconds; Low: 5 to 6 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then, if necessary, reduce to heat specified in recipe.)

Purée feta, soured cream, water, lemon juice, and garlic in a food processor until smooth, then, with motor running, add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a slow stream. Add basil and salt and pepper to taste and pulse until just combined.

Thinly slice courgette lengthwise (just under 1/8 inch thick) using slicer. Toss courgette and tomatoes (on the vine) in a large bowl with salt and remaining tablespoon oil. If using loose cherry tomatoes, thread onto skewers. Grill vegetables, in batches if necessary, on oiled grill rack, turning over once with tongs, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes total per batch. Serve with sauce.
