With a jar of Karen's tomato sauce, anything is possible! Add some creamy butter beans, roasted zucchini, and a tangy herb-packed yogurt sauce, it's simple and impressive.

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium zucchinis cut into strips
  • 1 Jar of Karen's homemade tomato sauce (or your favourite simple tomato sauce)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 garlic cloves minced 
  • 1 torpedo onion
  • 1 can of butter beans (or any bean) drained and rinsed 
  • 1 tsp of greek spice mix
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise 
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Roast the zucchini on the BBQ drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper for about 15 minutes.
  2. In a medium saucepan heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and soft. Then add the beans and spice mix stirring frequently. Finally, add the jar of tomato sauce then turn down heat to keep warm.
  3. In a small bowl combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice and zest, and stir until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 
  4. Assemble the dish by spreading a layer of the yogurt sauce, then a huge scoop of the tomato sauce on top. Finish with the roasted zucchini and a crack of fresh pepper. Garnish with extra parsley and enjoy! 

Tip: This dish is perfect on it's own, but if you need some carbs serve with warm crusty bed or atop of basmati rice.
