“Just two ingredients! This is barely worthy of a blog post, but I wanted to share it anyway. I think it is a simple and tasty way to enjoy courgettes. Here, I fry slices of courgettes (cut approx. 1cm thick at an angle for more surface area) until caramelised. Then I serve it warm with a little feta crumbled over. If seasoned well, these caramelised courgettes are truly delicious and the full-fat feta adds a lovely creamy sharpness.” – Monya

Once the courgettes are caramelised, transfer them to a plate lined with kitchen paper and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over, allowing it to melt slightly. The creamy and salty flavour of feta perfectly complements the mildness of courgettes, creating a harmonious blend of tastes.
 
The combination of textures, from the soft courgettes to the creamy feta adds a delightful complexity to every bite. This salad not only meets the requirements of the keto diet but also is also a nutritious and indulgent choice for those seeking a low-carb, high-fat meal.
 

It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals.

Calories: 161kcal | Carbohydrates: 4.1g | Protein: 4.6g | Fat: 14g

Equipment

• large non-stick pan / wok
• BBQ tongs
• good-quality kitchen paper

Ingredients

• 2 TB lard or ghee
• 330 g (11.6 oz) courgettes (approx. 2 medium, trimmed weight), sliced 1cm
• sea salt flakes
• 20 g (0.7 oz) full-fat feta cheese
• freshly ground black pepper
• handfuls wild rocket, optional

Instructions

• Working in 2-3 batches (so you do not over-crowd your non-stick pan), heat some fat of your choice over high heat. Place the sliced courgette pieces (cut approx. 1cm thick) flat-side down and flip each one once they start turning golden. I like to use BBQ tongs to do this.
  
• Place them on a large plate or tray lined with kitchen paper. Repeat the process with the remaining fat until all the courgettes are done.
  
• Season with salt and serve warm with the feta crumbled over. Generously crack over freshly ground black pepper.

  If you want, you could stir through some wild rocket too (excl. in the macros).
