Courgette dip

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 3 hours

Ingredients

  • 2 medium to large courgettes chopped into small cubes
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 small red chili finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Premium Extra Virgin Olive oil to serve
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot saute the garlic for 1-2 minutes on medium heat

  2. Add the chili and stir for 1 minute

  3. Add the chopped courgettes and season with ½ a tsp of salt to help the courgettes sweat all the liquid and stir

  4. Lower the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Cook for 1 hour stirring every so often.

  5. Stir the courgettes vigoursly to achieve a creamy consistency, this would release more liquid. Continue cooking without a lid until all the liquid has evaporated.

  6. Season with salt and pepper and serve in a bowl. Drizzle good olive oil, you can also use chili olive oil and lemon olive oil so give a rounder chili flavour

  7. Enjoy over fresh foccacia, as condiments to a cured ham sandwish or on toast
