Many people aren’t too keen on capers, but please don’t leave them out entirely. They give such wonderful balance to this dish!
3 Courgettes, cut into thick slices, then halved
1 onion, sliced
Olive oil
Salt
4 stalks of celery, chopped
Broccoli, cut into small florets
2 tbsp tomato puree
6 tomatoes, quartered
100 g green olives, pitted
2 tbsp capers
2 tbsp white vine vinegar
Coriander leaves to decorate
- In the oil, gently fry the courgettes and onions. Season.
- Add the celery and broccoli, fry another few minutes.
- Add the tomato puree, stir through, then add the tomatoes
- Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add the olives, capers and vinegar, simmer another few minutes.
- Decorate with coriander
Thank you for this new and very welcome addition to our veg casserole repertoire! I can’t eat coriander leaves, but since it’s just included as decoration, I assume I could substitute flat parsley?
