Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
For the courgette boats:
4 medium courgettes, halved lengthways
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp Greenfields Lebanese Shawarma seasoning
Pinch of Greenfields Himalayan Pink Salt (Fine)
Freshly cracked black pepper
200g cooked bulgur wheat or freekeh
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 red pepper, finely chopped
1 tbsp Greenfields Barberries (Zirishk)
1 tsp Greenfields Sumac (Somaq)
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
For the herbed labneh drizzle:
200g labneh or thick Greek yoghurt
1 tsp Greenfields Dried Mint
1/2 tsp Greenfields Ground Cumin
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt to taste
Toppings (optional but delicious):
Toasted pine nuts or flaked almonds
Greenfields Crispy Fried Onions
Fresh coriander or dill
Pomegranate seeds
Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Scoop out the middle of the courgettes using a teaspoon to form shallow boats. Rub the insides with olive oil, shawarma spice, salt and pepper.
Roast the courgettes on a tray, cut side up, for 20–25 minutes until softened and slightly golden.
Meanwhile, mix the cooked bulgur/freekeh with red onion, red pepper, barberries, sumac, and parsley in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season to taste.
Stuff the roasted courgette boats with the warm spiced grain mixture.
To make the herbed labneh drizzle, whisk together the labneh with mint, cumin, lemon juice, olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Drizzle generously over the courgettes and finish with toppings of choice like crispy onions, pine nuts, herbs or pomegranate seeds.
Serve warm or at room temperature with flatbread and pickles.
