3 Jan 2019

For those of you sticking to the new year’s resolution to shed those pounds, this recipe is just the ticket. For those who disdain all diets, this is the perfect accompaniment to that enormous, juicy steak. This recipe has anchovies, but for a vegetarian/vegan option simple don't add them.

Recipe

Serves 4

Ingredients

Courgettes – 4/660g/23oz
Extra virgin olive oil with lemons – 1/3 cup
Chilli peppers – 2 (depending on strength) finely chopped
Garlic – 2 cloves crushed
Lemon – the juice of one
Salt and pepper to taste
Anchovy fillets in olive oil – 10 (optional)

Method

Wash, top and tail the courgettes. With your mandolin or Julienne peeler cut the courgettes into long thing strips. Add the rest of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and with the back of a fork, squash and mix them all together. Add the courgettes and mix thoroughly with your hands.
