Courgette and lemon relish

Side Serves 10 1h 40 min
Although it takes a little while to cook, this recipe is extremely simple to follow and very rewarding for inexperienced relish makers. The delicate flesh of courgettes takes on spices beautifully. Eat with hard cheese or cold meats – it goes especially well with chicken.
