How to

Preparation:20 mins

Cooking:25 mins

1. I wash my courgettes, peel them and cut them into very thin slices.

2. I finely chop my onion and my basil.

3. I preheat my oven to 180° (thermostat 6).

4. In a frying pan, I pour a drizzle of olive oil, brown my onion and brown my zucchini slices for 10 minutes over low heat.

5. I salt and pepper.

6. I butter a gratin dish and pour my preparation into it.

Bonus Tip

For a more refined dressing, pour your preparation into individual ramekins and enjoy this flan with fish.

You can also add a little parmesan for a stronger flavor (be careful in this case not to add too much salt to your preparation because parmesan is a cheese that is already very high in salt). And with a tomato coulis, it will be more colorful and tasty!
