This grilled vegetarian stuffed courgette recipe is a simple and delicious dish perfect for cooking on a Broil King gas barbecue. Tender courgette halves are filled with a creamy mixture of rice, feta cheese, ajvar, and cherry tomatoes, then grilled until the cheese is melted and golden.

Ingredients

1 large courgette
100 g pre-cooked rice
50 g sour cream
50 g feta cheese, diced
30 g ajvar (roasted red pepper spread)
10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 tsp Italian herbs
30 g grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or similar)
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Courgette

Wash the courgette and cut it lengthwise in half. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the soft centre to create courgette boats, leaving a thin border so they keep their shape while grilling.

Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, mix together:
Pre-cooked rice
Sour cream
Diced feta cheese
Ajvar
Quartered cherry tomatoes
Italian herbs

Stir until the mixture is well combined and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Stuff the Courgette

Spoon the filling evenly into the hollowed courgette halves. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top for a delicious golden crust.

Preheat the BBQ

Preheat your **Broil King gas barbecue to 170–180°C using indirect heat (turn on the outer burners and leave the middle burner off).

Grill the Stuffed Courgette

Place the stuffed courgettes on the grill over indirect heat, close the lid, and cook for 20–25 minutes, until:
the courgette is tender
the filling is hot
the cheese is melted and nicely gratinated

Serve

Remove from the grill and serve warm. These grilled stuffed courgettes make a delicious vegetarian BBQ main dish or side.
