Ingredients

• 500 g Courgette (zucchini), cut into chunks
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, crushed
• 2 tsp Paprika
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• 1 pinch Cayenne pepper
• 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped
• 2 tbsp Coriander (cilantro), chopped
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• ½ tsp Salt

Method

1. Boil or steam the courgettes for 6–8 min until soft, then drain very well and roughly mash or chop them.
2. Warm the oil in a pan over medium-low heat and stir in the garlic, paprika, cumin, cayenne and salt for 1 minute.
3. Add the courgettes and cook for 5–8 min, stirring, until the extra water has evaporated and the courgettes look glossy and red.
4. Off the heat, stir in the herbs and lemon juice. Serve warm or cool with bread.

Tips

• Squeeze the steamed courgettes gently in a sieve if they are very watery.
• A grated tomato added with the courgettes makes a juicier version.
