Slow Cooked Courgette/Marrow & Beans


A made up dish, to use one of my three overgrown courgettes

1 large onion, peeled and diced
1 large garlic clove, peeled and crushed
2 large courgettes/marrow (about 1kg)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 can white beans
500ml vegetable stock
Fresh chopped herbs (parsley, thyme, or mint) to serve 
Chilli flakes (optional)

Finely slice your courgettes/marrow, peeling if the skin is tough.

In a sauté pan over a medium heat, fry the courgette in the olive oil until the released liquid has evaporated away. This can take 20-30 minutes.

Add the garlic and beans, using their liquid to make up part of your 500ml of vegetable stock, and stock.

Cover and bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. If the dish starts to dry out too much, add a little more boiling water.

Serve with a sprinkling of fresh herbs, a pinch of chilli, and crusty bread.
