Steps
Steps
- 1Choose small, firm courgettes; large ones are watery and seedy.
- 2Shave them lengthways into long ribbons with a peeler or mandoline, stopping when you reach the seedy core.
- 3Lay the ribbons on kitchen paper and salt them very lightly for 10 minutes, then blot dry. Any more salt and they collapse into limp strands.
- 4Rub the inside of a serving bowl with the cut garlic clove and discard it.
- 5Whisk the lemon juice, zest and olive oil and season with black pepper.
- 6Dress the ribbons no more than 5 minutes before serving — courgette weeps fast once acid touches it.
- 7Toss gently with the torn mint, then top with Parmesan shavings and pine nuts.
