MaryLee's Healthy Foods and Easy Cooking - Courgettes with Pine Nuts

Hello again,

Yesterday I said about making a vegetable dish a little more exciting than having it just boiled or steamed. Here is another dish I think you would enjoy.

Courgettes Sauté with Pin Nuts

1 – 2 medium Courgettes or Zucchini squash cut in 1 inch cubes
1 medium red onion cubed

1 - 2 cloves garlic chopped finely
1 – 2 tbsp (tablespoon) light oil
1/3 cup of pine nuts

In skillet cook pine nuts over medium heat 3 – 5 minutes until brown, stirring as you do this, as they will burn very easily. Set aside to let cool.

In skillet heat oil add the onions and sauté until tender then add the courgettes and garlic continue cooking until courgettes become tender but not soft.

Place in serving bowl and toss in pine nuts and season with sea salt and ground black pepper.

If you have any fresh parsley or coriander then chop and sprinkle over courgettes.

Just adds a little more flavour to the vegetable dish.
