Baby courgettes, also known as zucchini, offer a delicate and refined flavour compared to their larger counterparts. These young, tender vegetables have a mild, slightly sweet taste with a hint of earthiness. Their texture is firm yet tender, with a smooth skin that is thin and edible, making them a versatile addition to various dishes. When cooked, baby courgettes maintain their slight crunch, adding a pleasant contrast to softer ingredients. Their subtle flavour allows them to absorb and complement the seasonings and other components of a dish, making them a favourite in both simple and elaborate recipes.
Baby Courgettes Cooking Suggestions
Sautéing: Slice and sauté in olive oil with garlic and herbs until tender and slightly browned.
Grilling: Brush with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and grill until charred and tender.
Roasting: Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast in the oven until golden and caramelised.
Steaming: Steam until just tender to retain their delicate flavour and nutrients.
Blanching: Quickly blanch in boiling water and then cool in an ice bath to maintain their colour and crispness.
Baby Courgettes Serving Suggestions
Lemon and fresh herbs: A simple dressing of lemon juice, parsley and mint enhances their natural flavour.
Feta or goat cheese: The tangy, creamy cheese contrasts beautifully with the courgettes' mild taste.
Cherry tomatoes: Adds a burst of colour and sweetness, balancing the courgettes' subtle flavour.
Quinoa or couscous: Provides a hearty base that absorbs the courgettes' juices and flavours.
Grilled chicken or fish: Light proteins that complement the courgettes without overpowering them.
Olive oil and balsamic glaze: A drizzle of high-quality olive oil and balsamic glaze brings out the courgettes' sweetness and adds depth to the dish.
Cooking suggestions: Sautéing, grilling, roasting, steaming or blanching.
Serving suggestions: Pair with fresh herbs (parsley, mint), cheeses (feta or goat cheese), cheery tomatoes, quinoa or couscous or grilled chicken or fish.
