Too big a harvest? Sauté a quantity of sliced zucchini, onions, and garlic. Then purée and freeze. After thawing, this forms a good base for soups when combined with broth. If the zucchini has grown a bit too large: Peel and deseed, then entirely shave it into ribbons with a vegetable peeler or cheese slicer, creating beautiful white strands. 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 approximately 4 to 8 people, depending on the size of the zucchini. For every 15 cm of zucchini 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…
