Lunch Thursday 27 July - Stewed Courgettes


Stewed Courgettes
1 large onion, peeled and chopped (about 150g)
2-3 cloves garlic, sliced
350g courgettes, halved lengthwise and sliced about 1/2" thick
1 teaspoon Marigold Swiss Vegetable Bouillon Powder
handful fresh basil, torn into bits
handful fresh flat leaf parsley
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
3large tomatoes, chopped (about 350g)
1 large tablespoon double concentrated tomato puree (about 20g)
2 teaspoon anchovy paste (or a few anchovies, chopped)
10g parmigiano reggiano shavings

Spray a non-stick pan with a bit of olive oil and saute the onions & garlic until translucent. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well to mix.

Add sufficient water to about 1/2 cover the vegetables, cover and cook over low heat until everything is cooked to your liking (about 20 minutes for me).

Top with the shaved Parmesan.
