Sauteed Courgettes with Mustard Dill Sauce (Recipe)

Ingredients

3-4 whole courgettes

2 tbsp olive oil

30g (1 oz) diced shallots or white onions

500ml (16fl oz) chicken stock

60ml (2fl oz) single cream

2 tbsp grain mustard

2 tbsp Dijon mustard

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, divided

Steps

1.  Wash the courgettes and trim off the ends.  Slice the courgettes into 6-12mm (1/4-1/2in) slices.

2.  Heat the oil in a large non-stick saute pan over medium-high heat.  Cook the courgettes for about 1 minute on each side, then remove and drain off any excess oil.  Add the remaining ingredients except the dill, cover and reduce the heat to medium-low; cook for about 15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened, then add the courgettes and cook for a further 5-6 minutes until the courgettes are slightly soft.

3.  Add 2 tablespoons of the dill and gently fold into the sauce.  Serve on a platter and garnish with the remaining chopped dill.
