Ingredients
- 2 large courgettes, trimmed and cut into 1cm wide slices, approx. 190g each
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp lemon zest, finely grated
- ¼ tsp garlic granules
- 5 g fresh mint leaves, stalks removed and roughly chopped
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- low-calorie cooking spray
Instructions
-
Spray a large frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat.
-
When the frying pan is hot, add the courgettes and stir-fry for 5 - 7 minutes, until light golden on all sides, but still bright green and not too soft.
-
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest and garlic granules, and stir in. Cook for about 1 minute, taking care not to overcook otherwise the courgettes will become mushy. The courgettes should still retain a little crispness and their green colour.
-
Stir in the mint and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve hot, with a main course of your choice.
