Celebrating early summer

June is a bountiful time for British produce. Make the most of fresh fruit and veg like asparagus, peas, courgettes, and berries.

Roasted courgettes with garlic yoghurt

by Philippa Davis

Topped with crunchy pumpkin seeds and mixed with a generous handful of fresh herbs, these warm tender courgettes are nestled onto a bed of cool creamy yoghurt to make an impressive side dish.

Although I prefer serving the courgettes warm they are still delicious when allowed to cool to room temperature.
