Step 1
Trim the ends off the courgettes and cut into 5cm lengths. If they are thin, cut pieces in half lengthwise. Fatter courgette pieces should be halved then quartered lengthwise. Arrange in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and leave for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Rinse and pat dry in kitchen roll. -
Step 2
Fry briskly in the olive oil with the sliced garlic until browned and tender. As soon as the courgettes are cooked tip them into a shallow dish. -
Step 3
Add the wine vinegar and mint, seasoning with salt and pepper, turn, then leave to marinate for several hours before serving.
