Pan-fried balsamic courgette and tomato
I normally grill or roast courgette, but this time I wanted a quick side-dish that could be cooked on the hob. So I created this easy, pan-fried balsamic courgette and tomato, which can be served on a piece of toast, with pasta or gnocchi; or on the side of fried/grilled/roast meat and fish.
Ingredients
Method
- Cut the courgette into rounds, the tomatoes in half. Thinly slice the spring onions.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the courgette for 5 minutes, or until they are getting brown.
- Stir in the tomatoes, spring onions, garlic and oregano, then season with salt and pepper. You can add a pinch of chilli flakes for a spicy version.
- Sauté, under cover, over low heat for 5 minutes.
- When the tomatoes start releasing their jus, add the balsamic vinegar.
- Let the vegetables caramelise, then serve
