A lot of people think that pickle recipes are both
complicated to make, and then need time in the jar before you can eat them.
Whilst that can be true, these pickled courgettes are so simple to put together
– just 20 minutes – and can be eaten the very next day. A great accompaniment
to cheese, cold meats and nibbles. Looking for more courgette recipes? Look no further.Time and servings
