Jamie Oliver's Courgette pickle recipe

Makes 1 jar

Cost per jar £2.40 (fnar fnar!)

500g courgettes
2tbsp sea salt
500ml cider vinegar
1tsp mustard powder
2tsp black mustard seeds
1 tsp yellow mustard seeds
1tsp turmeric


Chop the courgettes into small cubes & put in a bowl with the salt. Cover with cold water and leave for 1 hour. Meanwhile, put all remaining ingredients into a saucepan, mix, bring to boil and simmer for 3 mins then put aside to cool.
Drain the courgettes and stir them into the cooled mixture, transfer to a clean jar then put in fridge. Best made a few days before serving.

No problem.  Forgot to say it only lasts a few weeks in the fridge, so I'm just doing one jar at a time.  Had the day off work today and so far have made a courgette & dill soup, and a beetroot and chocolate cake. So glad I only had one courgette plant come up in the end, Moneymaker, certainly is

Surprisingly I'm not hungry now!

Don't need to leave it a week to test, 3-4 days and the courgettes will have softened nicely, not sure how long it will last as we're eating it constantly, goes nice with cheese.  Turmeric is indeed lethal, I have lost many clothes to it! Want to make piccalilli for the first time but still haven't got any cauliflowers so may buy some Have never seen those tiny onions (silverskins?) for sale anywhere, any ideas where I can get them?
