Serve this sauce with the nut loaf, or for a simple and quick mid week meal, with wholemeal pasta. The chilli gives it bite (and boosts the metabolism) but can be left out if you're a chilliphobe.
Heat the oil in a pan to hot. Add the garlic and fry until golden. Remove the garlic from the pan, straining the oil to use for the other ingredients. Drain any excess oil from the garlic by blotting in on absorbent kitchen paper.
Set the garlic aside on absorbent paper.
Add the chilli flakes, zucchini, tomato, thyme and parsley to the pan and cook until the zucchini is soft.
Serve the sauce over the nut loaf and top with the garlic slivers.
Note: Studies on the effect of eating chilli and blood sugar levels found that blood insulin levels were lower after a meal with chilli compared to a meal without.
