A fresh, light lunch or snack, perfect as an aperitif!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Large Courgette
- 1 Lemon
- 1 Large Handful Fresh Basil
- 1/2 Red Chilli
- Sea Salt
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Large Garlic Clove
- Leftover Bread
Instructions
- Using the widest hole on a box grater grate the courgette and stir in the basil, shredded, the zest of the lemon, the juice of half the lemon, the chilli finely diced, a dash of extra virgin olive oil and season to taste with sea salt, fresh black pepper and more lemon juice if needed. Set aside to allow the lemon juice to ‘cook’ the courgette.
- To make the bruschettas slice the bread and brush with more olive oil. Grill (you can do this on the barbecue for a great flavour if it is already hot for dinner) until golden.
- Crush the garlic and rub over the bruschettas.
- Allow to cool enough to touch and pile on the courgette mixture.
- Enjoy with a nice chilled aperitif while you wait for the rest of our dinner to chill/ cook.
