What You’ll Need:

  • 4 long and slender courgettes, topped and tailed
  • 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 225g Isle of Wight ‘Golden Santini’ tomatoes, halved lengthways
  • ½ medium-hot red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 fat garlic clove, finely chopped
  • The leaves from 10g mint sprigs, finely shredded
  • Sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper

What To Do:

  • Slice the courgettes lengthways into very thin slices using either a sharp potato peeler or a mandolin if you have one. Put them into a bowl with the lemon juice, olive oil and some seasoning, toss together well, then spread haphazardly out over the base of a flat or very shallow serving dish.
  • Scatter the halved tomatoes over the top, then sprinkle with the chopped chilli, chopped garlic and shredded mint. Sprinkle with a few more sea salt flakes and serve straight away, before the courgettes go limp.
