    Wash and clean the zucchini, peel them in strips with a peeler. Halve lengthwise and cut into pieces. Quarter the peppers, clean, wash and cut into pieces. Place the vegetables in an ovenproof dish, drizzle 4-5 tablespoons of oil over them and sprinkle with sea salt.

  3. 3

    Remove the mould, toss the vegetable pieces in the oil. Add the tomatoes and peaches and bake for another 20-25 minutes. Mix yoghurt and lemon juice. Peel 2-3 cloves of garlic and press them through a garlic press to make yoghurt.

    Season to taste with salt and pepper. Wash the mint, shake dry and, except for something to garnish, pluck leaves from the stalks and cut into strips. Stir into the yoghurt, arrange in a bowl and garnish with mint.

  5. 5
