Chef's Menu Description
A distinguished culinary classic crafted with authentic techniques and finest ingredients, offering rich depth of flavour and elegant presentation.
Ingredients
- • 2 large courgettes, (trimmed and cut into 1cm wide slices, approx. 190g each)
- • 2 tbsp lemon juice
- • 1/2 tsp lemon zest, (finely grated)
- • 1/4 tsp garlic granules
- • 5 g fresh mint leaves, (stalks removed and roughly chopped)
- • salt and black pepper, (to taste)
- • low-calorie cooking spray
Preparation Steps
1
Phase 1
Spray a large frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat.
2
Phase 2
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.
3
Phase 3
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.

Phase 4
Stir in the mint and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve hot, with a main course of your choice.
