Courgette salad with sultanas and pine nuts
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Serves:4

Ingredients
2 tbsp extra virgin Olive oil
3 courgettes, thickly sliced (I did it 1cm thick)
1 clove Garlic, sliced
juice of 1/2 Lemons
small handful of sultanas
small handful of Pine kernels
black pepper

Method
1. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Add the courgettes in a single layer and fry over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes until the underside is lightly flecked with brown.

2. Turn carefully with tongs, then add the garlic and fry for another minute, taking care not to let the garlic burn.

3. Pour over the lemon juice, add the sultanas and pine nuts and season with salt and pepper. Lower the heat and fry for another 5 minutes until the courgettes are just tender.

4. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I served it with ras-el hanout-roasted chicken thighs done with a tarragon white wine reduction butter sauce, (which I totally made up and was surprised it worked) but it could also be served with some nice couscous if you wanted a simpler veggie meal.

Thank you! :D Ooh, that looks easy. Plus if I make it with couscous, then it's easy enough to split some off for lunch the next day. Yay!

It'll definitely work as a cold lunch - it's tasty enough not to need the heat.
