Instructions
1: For the beans, dice the shallots & mince the garlic + chilli. Warm 1 tbsp olive oil on medium high heat + sauté shallots until softened. 2: Add the garlic + chilli, fry until fragrant. 3: Strain the beans from their liquor (keep 60 ml for later), add the beans to the pan with a splash of liquor. Allow to simmer for 5-10 mins. 4: Meanwhile, peel as much of the courgettes as possible into ribbons. Save any leftover for another recipe. 5: Skewer the ribbons (with a tight fit). 6: For the skewer glaze, mix minced ginger, garlic, 1 tsp miso, soy, sesame oil + lime juice in a bowl. Season to taste. 7: To finish the beans, dissolve 1 tsp miso paste in 2 tsp boiling water + add to the beans. Season with pepper + lemon zest & adjust seasoning to taste. 8: For the skewers, warm 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan on medium high. Carefully place in the oil, leave to brown for 2-3 minutes on each side before turning. Pour the glaze over the skewers, allowing to caramelise.View original recipe
