By Marcus Coates @homeinriyadh 22nd October 2020

Calling all cheese lovers!

This one is for all you cheese lovers out there. And with only a few ingredients to think about, you can be in and out of the kitchen in no time at all. That will give you more time in your day to reflect on the glory and loveliness of cheese.

Ingredients:

• 5 x large courgettes

• ½ x Spanish onion

• 1 x pack of goat’s cheese

• ½ cup of cream

• 1 x cup of chopped coriander

• Handful of parmesan

• Paprika and black pepper to season

• Some olive oil

• Some pizza sauce

Method:

For the filling: crumble the goat's cheese into a bowl and add the cream, seasoning, parmesan, coriander and chopped onion. Mash it all together. Done in under 5 minutes!

Next, slice the courgettes in half, lengthways, core out the middle (either with a spoon, a knife by creating a v-shape cut or an apple corer) and lightly oil the courgettes.

Spoon in the filling and stick the courgettes in a hot oven on a baking tray. When the cheese starts to turn brown, you are done, done, done.

Mine took six minutes in the oven – less if you like crunchy courgettes – more time if you don’t!

Serving:

• Step 1: Heat and ladle on a plate some pizza sauce (you can make … but mine was out of a jar).

• Step 2: Stack the courgettes on the sauce like you are building a wall … a wall made of lovely, editable vegetables and cheese!

• Step 3: Eat (then load up your plate again and repeat) until your cheese desires are sated!

And don't forget the popular saying ... a piece of cheese every day helps you work, rest and play!

Happy munching!
