Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium courgettes zucchini

  1. Cut off the ends of the courgettes then, using a vegetable peeler, shave in into long ribbons.
  2. 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.
