Courgettes Russian Style

🧂 Ingredients

1 Trim off the ends of the courgettes. Wash and dry them and cut into thick
rounds. Place these in a bowl, dust with flour and coat all the pieces, turning
them over and mixing by hand.
2 Tap the bottom of the bowl on the work surface to make any excess flour fall to
the bottom.
3 Heat the butter with the oil in a large frying pan and when very hot add the
courgette rounds, leaving the unwanted flour behind in the bowl; fry over a
moderately high heat for 2 - 3 minutes, stirring continuously.
4 Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook gently for about 10 minutes, stirring
occasionally, until the courgettes are tender but still crisp.
5 Season with a little salt and pepper, pour in the cream, add the parsley and
mint and continue cooking while stirring gently over a low heat for 1-2 minutes.
6 Serve very hot.
