Courgettes, Borlotti Beans and Green Sauce

I've never tried to breed courgettes, but apparently they shag like rabbits. Given a little space to make their own, they'll give you lot back. Probably why they're inexpensive, and why you should be eating a lot of them in summer. This is hardly a recipe, so simple and really actually so delicious, thanks to the green sauce (bagnet verd) we made on a previous recipe. As for the beans, I've just gone cheap and cheerful tinned. If you fry them off a little bit they're much tastier.

 

 

 

INGREDIENTS: (to feed 2)

-1 tin of Borlotti beans

-400g courgettes

-clove of garlic

-some Green Sauce (see the Bagnet Verd recipe elsewhere on the blog)

-olive oil, salt and peps

-goes well with some nice bread

 

  

METHOD:

  1. Roughly chop the courgettes into interesting chunky shapes and sauté gently in several glugs of olive oil in your widest frying pan with a few pinches of salt and the chopped garlic for about 10 minutes until almost tender. Set aside.
  2. Drain the tin of borlotti beans and just fry them off in the same hot oily pan you cooked the courgettes in for a few mins until they have a bit of a crust on them. We just want some texture on them. Add a generous pinch of salt and pep to them.
  3. Get the beans on a plate, then pour over the courgettes. 
  4. Finally, chuck on a few dollops of the green sauce and finish with a good drrizzle of olive oil so it all comes together.
  5. Tuck in with a spoon in one hand and a chunk of bread in the other.
