Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Carefully scoop out and discard the watery core from the courgettes using a teaspoon, leaving a 1cm border. This should give you a ‘boat’ shape for the filling.
step 2
Put the garlic, breadcrumbs, lemon zest, olive oil, oregano, thyme and a pinch of sea salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
step 3
Carefully spoon the filling into the hollowed-out courgettes. Sprinkle the pine nuts on top and bake for 18-25 mins until the courgettes are tender and the crumbs golden.
