How to Cook Courgettes (Zucchini)
- Trim and slice the courgettes and place them in a pan of slightly salted water. Bring the water to the boil, then cover the pan and boil gently for 7-8 minutes. Drain off the water and allow the courgettes to cool slightly until you can handle them easily. Split them in two longways and use a teaspoon to remove the seeds from the middle, just leaving the firm flesh around the outside. Grind a little fresh pepper over them. Serve hot with the butter melting on top.

Unless the recipe demands otherwise, when buying courgettes choose the smallest possible since they taste better than larger (older) ones. Round or long isn't important.
