Recipe of the Week – 9th August 2019 – Jasmine’s Homegrown Courgette Salad!


We are starting to reap our harvest here at home with my potatoes dug up and gobbled, my son Alfie’s carrots mostly picked, and today my daughter picked the first of her yellow courgette and pea crop. I thought that as she was so proud of the results that it would be a shame to just add them as an ingredient so I devised a warm salad to show them off at their best. None of us can take the credit for growing the avocado, but it did work well with the end product!

Serves 4 as a side dish

Ingredients

5 small yellow courgettes, halved lengthways

100g fresh podded peas

1 large avocado, peeled and sliced

2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

3 tbs extra virgin olive oil

1 tbs lemon juice

Method

1. Add the oil to a large frying pan and bring to a medium heat.

2. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for 1 minute.

3. Add the courgette halves, cover, and gently sauté on a low heat for 10 minutes, turning once.

4. Add the fresh peas, stir well, and simmer for a further minute.

5. Serve warm topped with the avocado slices and sprinkled with the lemon juice.
