Allergy-Free Recipe - Coconut-baked Courgettes

Method :

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4, 10 minutes before cooking. Lightly oil a 1.4 liter / 2½ pint ovenproof gratin dish. Heat a wok, add the oil and, when hot, add the onion and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder and coriander and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes.

  2. Pour 300ml / ½ pint cold water into the wok and bring to the boil. Add the coconut and tomato purée and simmer for 3-4 minutes; most of the water will evaporate at this stage. Spoon 4 tablespoons of the spice and coconut mixture into a small bowl and reserve.

  3. Stir the courgettes into the remaining spice and coconut mixture and spoon into the oiled gratin dish. Sprinkle the reserved spice and coconut mixture evenly over the top. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.

** Please note that coconut is fine for most nut allergy sufferers, but please check with your doctor if you have any concerns. **
