Ingredients

  • olive oil 3 tbsp
  • onion 1, finely chopped

Method

  • Step 1

    Heat the olive oil in a pan over a medium heat and cook the onion with a pinch of salt for 10 minutes until softened but not coloured. Add the garlic and cook gently for a few minutes then tip in the courgettes and cook gently for 20 minutes.
