  • Halve the courgettes lengthways and use a teaspoon to scoop out the flesh and keep to one side.
  • Sprinkle the hollowed-out courgettes with salt, turn upside down and leave for 15-20 minutes to drain a little.
  • Purée the flesh, add the finely chopped onion and garlic. Season and mix well.
  • Dry off the hollowed-out courgettes and stuff with the puree.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 20 minutes at 180°C, Gas Mark 4, 350°F, then put aside.
  • In a food processor, mix the chopped Banon cheese, a dozen mint leaves and the remaining olive oil, to form a glossy paste. Season to taste.
  • Spread each still-warm stuffed courgette with this paste, then sprinkle with the chopped nuts and some freshly ground pepper. Garnish with mint leaves to serve immediately.
This dish goes perfectly with a rosé wine from Provence, or a white Muscadet or Saumur.
