Servings: persons

0.75 1 tbsp red or white wine vinegar, or to taste
1 small garlic clove, peeled
15 g (0.5oz) pistachios (roasted is fine)
2.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp coarsely ground black pepper, or to taste
0.25 tsp caster sugar
4 large courgettes (a mix of green and yellow, if possible)
1 cup olive oil, to brush
400 g (14.1oz) can chickpeas, drained well and rinsed
1.5 tbsp lemon juice, or to taste
1 scant tbsp roasted ground cumin
1 small tomato, finely chopped
1 pinch salt, to taste
30 g (1.1oz) coriander (leaves and roots), chopped
75 100g feta cheese

1
Heat a griddle pan until quite hot.
2
Slice the courgettes on the diagonal into thin slices, no more than 1/2cm thick.
3
Oil the slices, place on the griddle in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, for three minutes, or until the base has well-charred lines.
4
Turn and repeat on the other side.
5
Repeat with the remaining courgettes.
6
Transfer to a plate as you cook each batch.
7
As you stand over the griddle, stir together the chickpeas, lemon juice, roasted cumin, tomato and red onion and season to taste.
8
Blend together all the ingredients for the dressing with 2 tbsp water until smooth; I use a good stick blender, but a mortar and pestle will also work.
9
Adjust the seasoning and vinegar to taste and keep aside.
10
To assemble, place the courgettes on plates or a platter, slightly overlapping at the edges.
11
Drizzle with the dressing.
12
Mix the coriander into the chickpeas, scatter them over with the feta cheese and serve.
