Slow cooked courgettes! Another great recipe for enjoying the piles and piles of courgettes at this time of year!

For a two person serving for a side dish slice about five courgettes into rounds. Melt a knob of butter in a pan with a glug of extra virgin olive oil over a medium heat. Once melted add a couple of crushed garlic cloves and the courgettes, some salt and pepper and give everything a good stir to coat with the oil and butter.

Leave them slowly cooking on a low-medium heat covered with a lid for about an hour. Give them a stir every ten minutes or so to ensure they aren’t sticking. They turn into a melting and rich sort of confit. Delicious!
