Easy
This is one of my go to weeknight dinners because it comes together in under an hour and tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did. White beans are packed with fiber and protein, so they keep you satisfied long after dinner, which I love. The courgette gets beautifully charred on the grill while staying tender inside, and a squeeze of fresh lemon at the end just makes everything sing. It's the kind of simple, wholesome meal that feels fancy enough for guests but easy enough for a regular Tuesday night. You'll be amazed at how much flavor you can pull from just a few quality ingredients.
