BBQ season is not over yet and what I love most are the side dishes. This courgette carpaccio will steal the show from any crispy, grilled sausage. The pesto (shop-bought or made simply by blitzing a few basil leaves with pine nuts and olive oil) gives the dish a wonderful summery touch and the lemon zest makes it deliciously fresh.
