The next day, pour plenty of peanut oil into a tall, capacious saucepan, put it on the gas and bring it to the smoking point.

When it starts to sizzle, dip the courgettes and fry them for a maximum of 4 minutes. Insert a few at a time to brown them perfectly on each side. Gradually remove them with a slotted spoon and dab them with absorbent paper to remove the grease. Let them cool completely and in the meantime, prepare the sauce.

Chop the mint with a crescent, chop the garlic, put everything in a small bowl, add the vinegar, salt and pepper, then emulsify.

Pour it now on the courgettes and enjoy the result. I am a marvel!
