1 large courgette
-
2 tsp olive oil + a drizzle
-

METHOD
- Trim the ends of the courgette and discard. Carefully cut the courgette into thin slices along the length, approx. ¼ cm thick.

- Place the courgette slices into the pan in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the underside begins to colour, then turn them over, add in a tsp olive oil and saute for another 2-3 minutes.
- Once cooked, arrange on a sharing plate with torn pieces of mozzarella. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Use scissors to cut the green salad cress over the top, then serve warm.

NOTES
If your pan isn't big enough, you can grill the courgette on each side until it begins to change colour. Drizzle with olive oil before grilling.
