Ingredients
Method
- Cut off the ends of the courgettes then, using a vegetable peeler, shave in into long ribbons.
- Heat some oil in a frying pan, add the garlic and thyme and cook for one minute. Add the lemon juice and the courgette strips. Sautee for about 3- 5 minutes under cover. It’s ready when the lemon juice is absorbed.
- Season to taste and sprinkle with fresh thyme before serving.
