homegrown courgette flash sautéed in brown butter served w/ melted butter

IngredientsMakes: 475g (3)

20g		butter
480g		courgette
1g		salt
15g		butter

Method

Top, tail & dice the courgette.

Melt the first chunk of butter and just as it's starting to brown add the courgette.

Toss to coat it and turn the heat to high.

Keep it moving and cooking for 2-3mins, the aim, is for it to still have a little bite - some crunch.

Add the rest of the butter & off the heat toss to melt & coat the courgette.

Serve immediately.

6g		garlic
70g		onions
4g		salt
3g		cumin powder
94g		ripe tomato
12g	(1)	lovage stock cubes	(recipe below)
450g		water
74g		broad bean shells
56g		pea shells

Method

Great way to use up shells from peas & broad beans from the garden.

Cook on the medium heat so the spices don't over cook while the onion is browning.

EVO, then spices medium heat, then add onions and put the lid on, stir occasionally until soft & starting to brown.

Add the rest of the ingredients except the lemon juice, bring to the boil, then set to simmer for 20 mins.

Blitz w/ a stick blender and pass through a sieve.

Add the lemon to adjust the acidity and bring it to life.

Maybe a little tabasco? Visual recipe for fast bean shell soup.
