We have some lovely neighbours who grow their own organic vegetables and were kind enough to give us some wonderful courgettes (zucchini), pictured below...
I just knew how I was going to use them … washed and sliced, then sautéed in butter with mushrooms, some cherry tomatoes, seasoning and lovely mixed herbs. So simple and so delicious! They went perfectly with a fillet of salmon and a spoonful of mashed swede (rutabaga), such a tasty low carb meal. I just happened to have some feta cheese in the fridge too, so I cubed it and 'sprinkled it' over the courgette (zucchini) mix...
If you’re already living the LCHF lifestyle, you will know that courgettes/zucchini are low in carbs, just 2g. carb per 100g, and they are probably high up on your must buy shopping (or growing) list. They may not pack the nutritional punch of other green vegetables (broccoli, kale etc.) but they do contain significant levels of potassium to control blood pressure and vitamin C to boost your immune system. Hope you may enjoy some courgettes (zucchini) soon !
