(Too) big a harvest? Bake a quantity of sliced courgettes, onions, and garlic. Then purée and freeze. After thawing, this, along with broth, forms a good base for soups. If the courgette is a bit too large: Peel and deseed, then completely peel with a vegetable peeler or cheese slicer, creating courgette ribbons, beautiful white strips. Sprinkle with salt and let drain. Then 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. 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 a side dish...
