  2. 2.Warm the wok (or a large pan) and add the oil and onion finely sliced. Let it soften then add the courgette batons. Cook for 10 minutes checking and stirring carefully.
  3. 3. Then add the cherry tomatoes plus a half glass of water. Cover with a lid and let cook over a low-medium heat for 10 minutes, again, checking so they won’t stick on the pan bottom (keep adding few spoons of water if needed).
