(Too) big a harvest? Bake a quantity of chopped courgettes, onions, and garlic. Then puree and freeze. After thawing, this, together with broth, forms an excellent base for soups. If the courgette has grown a bit too large: Peel and deseed it, then peel it completely with a vegetable peeler or cheese slicer to create courgette ribbons, 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 approximately 4 to 8 people, depending on the courgette. Per 15 cm of courgette length and a circumference of 25 cm, it is enough for 1 to 2 people, depending on whether it is a main course or a side dish…
