Method

  • step 1

    Chop the courgettes into large chunks, then boil or steam until tender, about 5 mins. Tip into a colander and lightly press out as much liquid as possible using a potato masher or fork, then chop the courgettes into smaller pieces.

  • step 2

    Heat the oil in a pan, add the garlic and tomatoes, then fry briefly until the tomatoes are just softening. Stir in the courgettes and heat through, then add the chopped parsley or coriander and stir through. Keep warm.

  • step 3

    Season the lamb steaks and grill for 3-4 mins each side. Serve with the tomato & courgette crush on the side.

RECIPE TIPS
TRY A QUICK STIR-FRY

Lamb & ginger stir-fry: Rub lamb steaks with Chinese five spice powder, grill as before. Finely slice courgettes, halve tomatoes & finely shred a small knob of ginger. Heat oil in a wok, add courgettes, tomatoes & ginger and stir-fry for about 3 mins until the courgette starts to soften. Add the garlic, fry for 1 min, then splash in 2 tbsp soy sauce. Slice the lamb steaks and add to the pan just before serving, along with their juices. Scatter with coriander & serve with rice or noodles.

Pressed send too early. Hubby absolutely loved it! I did too.

Just made the quick stir fry for me and hubby - who usually pulls a face when I mention courgettes.

This was really very nice. Wouldn’t write home about it but it was a good hearty meal. I served mine with new potatoes. I think in future I would pan fry the courgette from the start to give it a more intense flavour.

This was delicious! I pan fried the courgette instead of boling, but otherwise didn't change it. Would go with any type of meat I think.

Delicious. Easy to make. We used courgettes and tomatoes from the garden and served with turkey breast instead of lamb. Will make this again.
