  • Preheat the grill to medium. Thinly shave the courgettes widthways using a mandolin, grating any leftover pieces.  Cook the peas in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, drain and place in ice-cold water. Once cooled, drain and crush slightly.  Mix the peas with the courgette slices.
  • Zest and juice the lemon.  Put the lemon juice and zest into a bowl, whisk in 2 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spoon half over the courgette and pea mixture.  
  • Slice the goat’s cheese and arrange on a piece of greaseproof paper on a baking tray.  Drizzle with the honey and scatter with the chopped thyme.
  • Season with some freshly round black pepper. Pop under the grill until just starting to melt.
  • Put the warm cheese on to the courgette and pea mixture and scatter with the basil, pine nuts and rocket. 
  • Pour the remaining dressing over the top and serve immediately.
