Courgettes

Transfer 3 tbsp of the saffron broth to a bowl. Add the courgettes and all the ingredients up to and including the pepper, leave to stand for approx. 5 mins.

To serve

In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt, mustard and salt, mix well and plate up. Peel the eggs, cut in half, arrange on top along with the courgettes. Top with pine nuts, sultanas and oregano.
