(Too) large a harvest? Sauté a quantity of chopped courgettes, onions, and garlic. Then, purée and freeze. After thawing, this, together with broth, forms a great base for soups. If the courgette is a bit too large: Peel and deseed, then completely peel into ribbons using 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 pimpernel leaves, and the same amount of mayonnaise. This creates a delicious salad for approximately 4 to 8 people, depending on the courgette. For every 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 dish or a side dish...
