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.

  2. Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the courgette for 5 minutes, or until they are getting brown.
  3. 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.

  6. Let the vegetables caramelise, then serve
