3. Remove the sausage meat from the skins, and break it apart with a fork. Fry the meat in a frying pan with the chilli flakes and dried mixed herbs until golden.
4. Mix the natural yogurt with the garlic, lemon juice and a little seasoning, and spread on top of each flatbread. Drizzle over a little pesto, top with the courgette and sausage meat, and scatter over some fresh basil leaves to serve.
