Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby marrow (courgette/zucchini)
- 60 ml olive oil
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 2 units garlic cloves
- 15 grams fresh parsley
- 10 grams fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 30 grams parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the baby marrow thoroughly and trim off both ends.
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the baby marrow thinly lengthwise or into thin rounds, depending on your preference.
Place the sliced baby marrow in a large bowl and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, chopped fresh parsley, chopped fresh basil, chili flakes, honey, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the sliced baby marrow, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate for 2-3 hours.
Remove the marinated baby marrow from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before serving to ensure optimal flavor.
Transfer the marinated baby marrow to a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with shaved or grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve as a refreshing appetizer, a side dish, or a topping for salads and enjoy!
