  1. Don’t stack the courgettes on top of each other – you want them all to have even contact with the coals. If you’re not barbecuing, you can bake the courgettes in an oven heated to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.

    Char the lemon halves on the barbecue grill for a minute or two, if you like. They look pretty and the grilling gives them a gorgeous caramelised flavour.

  2. The dukkah will keep for up to 3 weeks in an airtight container.

  3. Dukkah is an Egyptian mixture of ground nuts and spices that’s delicious scattered over veg or meat, or used as a dip next to a bowl of olive oil for warm bread.
