Ingredients
  

Fresh

  • 1 finely chopped white onion

  • Add the finely chopped chilli to the pan then after a few minutes add the minced garlic & cook for a further 60 seconds
  • Add the courgette halves and precooked butternut to the pan and allow to infuse the flavours for around 8 minutes then add 1 tin coconut milk + 1/2 pack coconut cream
