Method
- Heat the oven to 200 C, 180 C fan, 400 F, gas 6. Heat the sauté pan and melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic, and fry gently until softened. Add the courgettes and lemon juice, turn up the heat and fry for another couple of minutes. Add the potatoes, toss everything together, then add the goats' cheese in chunks on the top, and scatter over the spring onions.
