Courgette muffins
When I read the title of the recipe I had the same reaction than when I first heard of carrot cake. I thought: "really?"
But since I have learn that I should give new flavours a go. So I did.
I used as base recipe my friend's Zuri from AZ Atelier's. But I didn't have nutmeg and I skipped the sugar. Zuri's muffins are a sweet version. Mine are savoury. With a twist.
Thanks for the inspiration, Zuri!
Ingredients:
2 cups of self-raising flour
1 courgette roughly chopped
2 teaspoons of grated lemon zest
3/4 of a cup of milk
1 egg
a chili, chopped
a pinch of salt
Instructions:
Mix all the ingredients, pour into the muffin molds and bake on a pre-heated oven... you know the drill.
You can eat them on their own, or with a bit of butter, or with ham and cheese... the possibilities are unlimited! Yum!
What will your twist on the courgette muffins be? Share it, please!

Papaya & ham salad
I saw a similar idea on the web and I thought? Mmm, sweet & salty? But I thought, I have been eating ham & melon for years, haven't I? So why not try another fruit?
As usual, couldn't be bothered with writing down the exact recipe.
So this is my own version...
Mmmmm, nice & refreshing for these hot summer days!!!!
