Preparation

1
Strain or mash the peeled tomatoes and put them in a large pan.
2
Add the garlic, fresh basil leaves, sugar, a splash of olive oil and some salt to taste. Let this simmer gently over low heat for half an hour. Then remove the garlic cloves.
3
Time to prepare the filling! Halve the cucumber, remove the seeds, grate it and squeeze the grating well in a cloth.

Then mix the cucumber with the ricotta, grated Tzatziki cheese, pressed garlic, chopped parsley and mint. Add the chilli flakes, salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything well and then put the mixture in the fridge for a while.

Cut the courgette into ribbons with a cheese slicer or mandolin and grill briefly in a grill pan.

6
Pipe or spoon a tuft of the ricotta mixture onto the courgette and roll it up.

Cover the bottom of a baking dish with the tomato sauce. Lay the courgette rolls on top and sprinkle with grated Tzatziki cheese. Then bake for half an hour in a preheated oven at 180°C.

Can I use other cheese in this recipe?

Our Tzatziki cheese is a seasonal product and therefore not available all year round. But don't worry if you missed out on this one - we have plenty of other flavourful cheeses that go perfectly with this dish.

For example, try our Cow Cheese with Herbs and Garlic for a classic spicy touch, give the dish a spicy twist with our Cow Cheese with Chili, or opt for a mild, creamy flavour with our young Goat Cheese.

However you combine it, this recipe is a summer topper that you can vary endlessly. Enjoy your meal, or as the Greeks say: kali orexi!

Risotto with Pumpkin and Goat's Cheese

4 pers

Risotto with pumpkin is the perfect dish for an atmospheric autumn or winter evening, or as a main course at a special dinner party. The combination of creamy risotto, sweet roasted pumpkin and rich organic goat cheese makes it full of flavour and deliciously warming. This dish is also surprisingly easy to make. Apart from carving the pumpkin and mushrooms, it requires little preparation. While the pumpkin roasts in the oven, you can make the risotto base by gently frying onion and garlic. Slowly add the stock to the risotto rice. This creates the creamy texture. The result is a flavourful risotto. Buon appetito!
