(Too) large a harvest? Fry a quantity of sliced courgettes, onions, and garlic. Then purée and freeze. After thawing, this, together with stock, forms an excellent base for soups. If the courgette has grown a bit too large: Peel and deseed, then completely peel into ribbons with a vegetable peeler or cheese slicer, creating beautiful white strands. Sprinkle with salt and let drain. Afterwards, mix well with two generous tablespoons of chopped chives, the same amount of burnet leaves, and the same amount of mayonnaise. This makes a delicious salad for about 4 to 8 people, depending on the courgette size. Per 15 cm of courgette length and a circumference of 25 cm, it's enough for 1 to 2 people, depending on whether it's a main course or side dish…
