Large harvest? Sauté a quantity of chopped courgettes, onions, and garlic. Then purée and freeze. After thawing, this forms an excellent base for soups when combined with broth. If the courgette is exceptionally large: Peel and deseed, then peel completely with a vegetable peeler or cheese slicer to create courgette ribbons – beautiful white strands. Sprinkle with salt and let drain. Then mix well with two generous tablespoons of snipped chives, the same amount of burnet leaves, and the same amount of mayonnaise. This makes a delicious salad for approximately 4 to 8 people, depending on the courgette. For every 15 cm of courgette length and 25 cm circumference, there is enough for 1 to 2 people, depending on whether it's a main course or side dish…
