Yield: 4 sides
Ingredients
- 500g zucchini (net weight)
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- ½ tsp fine Himalayan pink salt (U.S. option HERE)
- 2 tsp organic broth granules (or ½ stock cube - crumbed)
- 20g extra virgin olive oil (U.S. option HERE)
- 100g organic coconut cream (canned - no additives) (U.S. option HERE)
- ⅛ tsp grated nutmeg
- 1 lime (juice only)
Instructions
- wash and pat dry zucchini, top and tail them, then slice lengthways twice and finally cut across so as to obtain thin quadrants.
- place all ingredients except lime juice in a frying pan over high heat and stir.
- once a rolling boil is reached, stir again, turn heat down, and simmer gently for about 20 mins, uncovered, until zucchini is soft and a thick sauce is all that remains.
- taste test, adjust seasoning as required, stir in lime juice and serve.
Notes
The coconut cream I use is pure coconut + water, and quite liquid. If you use a different brand, and it contains gums or other thickening additives, you may need to add a little water during cooking.
I have been using a set of amazing knives that slice effortlessly and with utmost precision. Having tested them for some time, I can genuinely recommend them. You can buy the set HERE (U.S. residents can buy them HERE).
