Courgette/Cucumber Leaf
How to choose courgettes or cucumbers for carving
| 1. Cut a slice from the side of the courgette. |
|
| 2. Cut the slice into a leaf shape. |
|
| 3. Cut a very thin slice from the skin of the courgette to mark out one side of the stem of the leaf. |
|
| 4. Cut out another thin slice to mark out the other side of the stem of the leaf. |
|
| 5. Starting at the wide end of the courgette cut out a triangle shape. |
|
| 6. Cut out more triangle shapes along the stem marked out earlier. The triangles should get smaller as you get nearer the thin end of the courgette. |
|
| 7. Around the outside of the courgette cut out small triangle shapes. |
|
| 8. The finished leaf. |
