Courgette and Pea Salad GF SCD

We love to eat mixed salads in the Summer months and this particular salad has become a favourite. Served warm or cold, it's very quick and easy to make as well as looking so attractive on the plate.

Courgette and Pea Salad GF SCD

2 or 3 medium courgettes (zucchini)
100 g frozen or fresh peas (a heaped cup)
½ red chilli pepper
extra virgin olive oil
freshly ground sea salt and black pepper (optional)

Slice the courgette slightly on the diagonal.

Warm a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a pan and fry the courgettes for about 15 minutes, I like them well done but cook them to your own liking if you wish.

Meanwhile either steam the peas or cook in boiling water for about 5 to 7 minutes.

Finely chop the chilli pepper.

Carefully lay the courgettes into a dish, sprinkling the cooked peas over as you layer the slices.

Sprinkle with the chopped chilli pepper and freshly ground sea salt and black pepper (optional).

Serve warm or cold.
