Creamy Courgette and Butter Bean Bowl
  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C fan/180°C/gas mark 4

  2. If making cashew cream, soak cashews in boiling water first (or use sunflower seeds if you have a nut allergy)

  3. Add the courgettes, garlic and olive oil to an ovenproof dish with a lid and season with salt and pepper

  4. Toss and assemble so the fleshy side is down

  5. Cover and slow cook for 45 minutes

  6. Remove the lid and cook for another 10-15 minutes until slightly browning on top

  7. Remove and squash the courgette chunks and garlic cloves down with the back of a fork to release their juices and create a jammy sauce

  8. Add the butter beans, most of their canned juices (pour a little out the top beforehand), half the cashew cream and gently stir together

  9. Divide into bowls and top with garlicky breadcrumbs, reserved caramelised courgette chunks, fresh basil and plenty of lemon zest
