The starter is excellent on a buffet, because it can be prepared well - even in larger quantities. The vegetables are in season from June to September, i.e. exactly in the summer barbecue season. How convenient that the low-carb dish tastes perfect as a side dish to grilled food. As an alternative, you can replace half the courgettes with aubergines.
