courgette gratin

Serves 4

500g courgettes, roughly grated (I use coarse grating disk on Magimix)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp caster sugar
2 tsp tarragon vinegar (or wine vinegar plus a little dried tarragon)
300ml cream
1 egg
salt & pepper


- Mix courgettes salt, sugar & vinegar and leave to disgorge for approx 1 hr, then squeeze dry and arrange in buttered gratin dish or individual ramekins (don't leave very much longer or it goes horribly soggy!)
- Beat cream & egg together, season well then pour mixture over courgettes, stir a bit so courgettes are evenly distributed.
- Bake at 200C for about 30mn until just set & lightly browned.

You can add either some grated parmesan or some basil to this, depending on what you are serving it with, but usually I leave it as it is so as not to have too many flavours vying for attention!
