Ingredients

2 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil

2 sprigs sage

4 clove garlic, crushed

2 400g cans butter beans, rinsed

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

3 small zucchini, peeled into long thin ribbons

Method

1.Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add sage. Cook 30 seconds, or until crisp. Using tongs, remove sage. Drain on paper towels.

2.Reduce heat to low. Add garlic to same pan. Cook, stirring, 30 seconds, or until garlic is fragrant but not browned. Add beans and vinegar. Cook, stirring, 1 minute, or until heated. Add zucchini; cook and toss gently 1 minute, or until zucchini is just tender. Season.

3.Serve sprinkled with crisp sage and drizzled with remaining oil.

Take care when adding sage to hot oil because it will splatter. Don’t overcook garlic because it will taste bitter. Use a vegetable peeler to cut zucchini into long thin ribbons.
