Chunky courgette & tomato salad

This is a variation on mafghoussa, a popular Palestinian salad or spread. The vegetables for mafghoussa were traditionally grilled on the ambers in the tabun, the clay oven often found outdoors in village homes. The original recipe calls for grilled tomatoes and courgettes, garlic, buttermilk and chopped parsley. We added a bit of this and a bit of that so it is a little richer, a perfect meal opener, accompanied by bread. You can cook your vegetables on a barbecue, instead of a griddle pan
