Ingredients
- 2 medium courgettes, trimmed
- 2 tbsp olive oil

- Heat a griddle or large frying pan over a high heat. Slice the courgette lengthways into thin strips. Put 1 tbsp oil in a mixing bowl and add the courgette strips, coating them in the oil.
- Fry the strips in batches for 2 minutes on each side until soft and golden, then season lightly (set aside the mixing bowl with the leftover oil).
- Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil and the garlic to the mixing bowl, then add the butter beans and coat them in the oil and garlic. Sprinkle with paprika then fry the beans in the pan for 5-6 minutes until golden (set aside the mixing bowl with the leftover oil and garlic).
