Grilled Courgette with Garlic and Lemon Butter Baste

This vibrant vegetarian dish features grilled courgette infused with a punchy garlic and lemon butter baste. By scoring the vegetables before hititng the grill, the seasoned butter seeps deep into the flesh, creating a wonderful depth of flavour. The addition of a little curry powder and oregano provides a subtle savoury warmth that perfectly balances the bright citrus notes, making this a standout side for any summer cookout.

Perfect for an outdoor barbecue or a quick midweek meal using a griddle pan, these courgettes are both healthy and satisfying. Serve them alongside grilled halloumi or as a fresh accompaniment to roasted meats. The optional dusting of Parmesan cheese adds a salty, crisp finish that elevates the dish into something truly special for family and friends.
