Too big a harvest? Sauté a quantity of sliced zucchini, onions, and garlic. Then puree and freeze. After thawing, this forms a nice base for soups when combined with broth. If the zucchini is a bit too large: Peel and deseed, then shave completely with a peeler or cheese slicer to create zucchini ribbons, beautiful white strands. Sprinkle with salt and let drain. Afterward, mix well with two generous tablespoons of chopped chives, the same amount of salad burnet leaves, and the same amount of mayonnaise. This makes a delicious salad for approximately 4 to 8 people, depending on the size of the zucchini. Per 15 cm of zucchini length and a circumference of 25 cm, this is enough for 1 to 2 people, depending on whether it's a main course or a side dish…
