Courgette Ribbons with Lemon, Chilli and Olives

Method

1. Use a vegetable peeler to slice the courgettes into long, thin ribbons – work your way around the courgette as you effectively ‘peel’ it right to the centre.
2. Drizzle a little olive oil over the ribbons. Grate some lemon zest on. Toss in the chilli. Squeeze in some lemon juice. Add the olives. Then, give it a little taste.
3. Add a bit of honey or a pinch of sugar to mellow the tang of the olives and lemon. Season. Whack in a load of herbs. Taste again and fix seasoning as needed.
