Courgettes Nicoise
Ingredients (serves 2):
- 3 large ripe beef tomatoes, pealed and finely chopped
- 1 large red onion finely chopped
- 4 courgettes
- 5 cloves of garlic, crushed and finely chopped
- Oregano
- Paprika
- Fresh basil
- Salt & pepper
- Olive oil
How To Make It:
Fry onions and garlic in olive oil in a large pan. Add in the chopped tomatoes, and the seasoning. Stir occasionally until it turns into a creamy mixture. Add the courgettes and gently stir in to ensure they are all covered with the tomato sauce. Cook for 5-10 minutes or until they are cooked to your taste (we like them a little crunchy).
Serving Suggestions:
For a special occasion try using a Spirali and making spiral of courgettes which will look exciting served alongside some steak or slow cooked pork.
Notes:
An easy way to peal tomatoes is to put them in a glass bowl and cover them with boiling water, leaving them in for a minute. The skin will peal off very easily also making sure you are only pealing the skin and not wasting any of the tomatoes.
