Recipe
Not only does this summery salad taste delicious, it keeps well, too, as the grains absorb even more of the flavour over time – ideal for an al fresco feast.

step 1
Heat the olive oil (4 tbsp) in a frying pan over a medium-low heat and add the garlic (6 cloves). Simmer for 2-3 minutes, until aromatic and just golden. Remove 2 tbsp oil from the pan and, in a small bowl, combine with the harissa paste (1 tbsp), chilli flakes (1 tsp), lemon zest and juice (1) and honey (1 tsp). Season to taste and set aside.
step 2
Place the pan back on a medium heat and add the courgettes (1 kg) and 1 tsp salt. Cook, stirring, for 10-15 minutes, until the courgettes are soft and sticky.
step 3
Stir half of the dressing through the grains (2 pouches) and pile on to a platter or into a container. Serve topped with the courgettes, crumbled feta (100 g), mint (10 g), basil (10 g) and the remaining dressing.
