The perfect dish for a light but filling lunch. Lightly spiced with cayenne pepper, did you know that cayenne pepper can help boost metabolism? Every little helps right?
I am always looking for ways to have a filling lunch with protein and nutritious vegetables.
I love the Oxo spiralizer, it makes it so easy to turn your normal courgette into courgettie, easing your craving for noodles and knowing you’re replacing it with something really good for you. It is so easy to use and quite fun! A separate review will be up soon but for now let’s talk food.
A few items that are cupboard and fridge staples will make this dish, remember you can add or exchange foods you would prefer and you can’t really go wrong.
Spiralized courgettie stirfry
Prep time 5 mins – Total time 10-15 mins
Serves 1
Ingredients
- 1 medium courgette
- 1/4 red onion
- 5 mushrooms
- 2 bacon medallions chopped
Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of mixed herbs
- 1 garlic clove
Directions
Start by heating up your pan on a low heat, spray with sunflower frylight or use a butter/oil of your choice.
Fry of the red onion, once it starts to slightly soften add in your mushrooms, garlic and then your chopped up bacon medallions.
Spiralise your courgette using the spaghetti blade. Once this is done add it straight to the pan.
Add in the cayenne pepper, herbs and salt. Cook until ready. Times vary depending on how you like your bacon.
Enjoy!
Notes:
To spice it up more add in some chilli flakes. You can add more veg like bean sprouts and peppers. As you see I added some beetroot and gherkins on the side with a nice refreshing drink.
