This is a recipe I picked on from a French podcast (France Inter) called 'on va déguster'
What you need
- 2 large courgettes (or zucchini as they are called on some countries)
- 1 large red onion
- ca 80g pine kernels
- picked lemons or simply a dried fruit mix. Ca a handful
- salt pepper
- the juice from one lemon
- fresh ginger, ca thickness of a thumb
- 80-100ml olive oil
Equipment
- pan - or oven safe dish
- 2 bowls
- kitchen blender
How you do it
- peel the red onion and cut it into small pieces. Put into the bowl
- cut off the end of the courgettes and wash them. Cut into thin slices. A grater might help. Put into bowl. Add the dried fruit mix (or pickled lemons)
- heat up the pan. Pan should be dry (no water, oil etc). When hot put the pine kernels in. Stir and fry until they start to turn slightly brown. Take off the heat and let cool down.
- the podcast recommends to roast them in the oven. In this case, use an oven safe dish. Heat the oven up to 180C put the kernels into the dish and roast for ca 10min. Remove and let cool down a bit.
- In the 2nd bowl pour the juice from 1 lemon and the olive oil.
- peel and cut the ginger into small pieces. Add to the bowl containing the lemon juice/olive oil
- With a handheld blender go into the lemon juice/ginger/oil mix and blend the ingredients until it is a smooth liquid.
- pour the juice/oil/ginger blend over the courgette mix
- add the roasted pine kernels and add some salt and freshly ground pepper.
- stir the whole mix so that everything is nicely covered in the juice mix
- cover and put in the fridge for a couple of hours
