    Very tasty, simple side dish. I've made it with roasted peppers too because I'd run out of courgette.

    Really easy and very tasty on it's own or along side any meat and salad. The left overs even tasted good for breakfast the next morning! Will be making again and again.

    Really easy and quick to make. Made with yellow pepper instead of courgette and was a lovely side dish. Will make again!

    Delicious - took minutes to make and generous portions (very useful given I kept eating it whilst making the rest of the dinner!).

    Great as a main - I added some chickpeas and sliced olives and it's a firm favourite!

    I've been mixing this with the tricolore couscous salad, add cherry tomatoes and the pesto dressing - I've had it for lunch every day this week - delicious!

    Fabulous recipe. I add red onion and fresh mint which works a treat. Very easy and particularly useful for saving in the fridge and using in the lunch box the next day.

    Can be prepared in advance and served at room temperature alongside a tagine or moroccan stew. The feta can be left out and it still tastes wonderful.

    Yum! I left out the feta as I was serving it with a cheesey baked aubergine and it was gorgeous. And I had plenty for the next day too, it's great cold aswell!

    Quick & delicious! I've made it many times with 'whatever the house gives'...Aubergine and red peppers instead of courgettes, coriander instead of parsley etc.
