Blanch the baby courgettes in salted water.

Courgettes and courgette flowers in pickles

Cut the zucchini into thin strips, with a mandolin or a good knife.

Prepare the pickle mix by bringing the sugar, vinegar and water to a boil in a saucepan.

Cool this liquid and pour it over the zucchini strips and flowers, and leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

You can then store the flowers in the pickle liquid for several weeks in the refrigerator.

Pumpkin seed praline

Lightly roast the pumpkin seeds in a convection oven at 150°C for about ten minutes.

When the seeds are lightly golden, mix them while hot with the oil and a little salt to obtain the consistency of a spreadable paste.

Dressage

Place the pumpkin seed praline in the center of the serving dish and spread it with the back of the spoon.

Arrange the mini courgettes on the praline and add the pickled courgette slices and flowers on top.
