Lemon marinated courgettes (zucchini) are a fresh summer side dish without cooking! Aromas and flavors of the Mediterranean on our tables with extra virgin olive oil and basil! Use very fresh medium-sized zucchini and with the help of a very common potato peeler, you will prepare a dish in a few minutes that is very good and light. Prepare it a day before serving.
Wash and trim the ends of the zucchini, then with a common potato peeler cut many thin and intact slices.
Squeeze the lemons.
Cut the garlic into slices.
Chop the basil.
In a rectangular baking dish or container, arrange a layer of slices of zucchini, then salt and pepper and add a few slices of garlic and a little basil.
Add a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice and a teaspoon of olive oil and continue in layers in this way until the ingredients are finished.
Wrap the dish with cling film and place in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours. The more it rests in the fridge, the tastier your side dish will be.
I always prepare it the day before serving.
For a better result your zucchini should be covered with the lemon and olive oil juice so they will be well marinated.
