Ingredients List
- 12 oz Courgettes (zucchini)
- 1 Onion, chopped
- 1 tb Cumin seed
- 2 tb Finely-chopped fresh
- -- coriander (cilantro)
- 2 Green chillies (optional)
Directions
NOTE: 12 oz courgettes is 3 small ones.
CONVERSIONS: 12 oz = 350 g
ABBREVIATIONS: tb = tablespoon
Cut the courgettes in half lengthways, then slice into thin half-moons. If
using the green chillies, cut in half, deseed and remove all white
membrane; then slice acrossways thinly.
Put the onion in a pan with enough stock to cover. Bring to the boil -
don't put a lid on - and boil off the liquid, stirring constantly. The idea
is to soften the onion without browning.
When the liquid is almost gone, add the cumin seed and stirfry for a moment
before adding the courgette slices. Add a little water if necessary; mix
well and add a pinch of salt. Turn the heat to very low and put the lid on.
Now leave them to steam until very tender - this is not a "crisp" vegetable
dish at all, rather meltingly tender. You will probably not need to stir
them at all. Keeping the lid on keeps all the moisture in so it doesn't
burn.
