This recipe is delicious and very simple. Not only that, but its main ingredient also has some great health benefits. Although treated as a vegetable, courgette or zucchini – as this summer squash is also known – is actually a fruit. High in water and fiber it is incredibly low in calories so is a great food to fill up on without loading up on calories. Its vitamins and minerals – it contains Folate and good levels of Potassium and Vitamin C and A – also boost your immune system and promote the health of your heart, skin, and eyes. One other little tip when it comes to courgettes: if you’re lucky enough to find courgette flowers in your local market, or you grow your own, be sure to keep them. The flowers are magical, stuffed with herbs and ricotta in a light tempura batter.
