Mexican One-pot Courgettes

Jane likes this dish because everything is just chucked in together, but the result is mouthwatering. The flavourings are unusual for courgettes, which are generally treated in a Mediterranean way.

Method

  1. Put everything in a large, heavy-based pan, cover and bring to a simmer.
  2. Cook slowly for about 30 mins, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the courgettes are tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.
  3. This tastes even better reheated the next day.
