Courgettes
Round zucchini ⚖
510116
The round courgette is a variety particularly favoured by chefs for its generous shape and elegant appearance. Selected by Le Delas, it is distinguished by its thin, bright green skin and tender, dense, flavourful flesh. Unlike the elongated varieties, its shape provides a natural cavity ideal for stuffed dishes, whilst retaining its shape perfectly after cooking.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Creative cuisine: Its spherical shape makes it the perfect vessel for stuffed vegetables (meat, grains or mushroom duxelles). It can also be shaped into a ‘cap' for striking and refined plated presentations.
► Side dishes: Cut into quarters or thick slices, it is ideal for roasting in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil, or for quick steaming to preserve its crunch and vibrant colour.
► Preparation: For stuffed dishes, carefully scoop out the core using a melon baller. The flesh can be incorporated into a stuffing mixture or a velouté to avoid waste.
► Storage: Store in a positive-temperature cold room. Although robust, it is sensitive to knocks which can leave marks on its skin; it is therefore advisable to handle it with care.
