Shredded courgette, or as we know it, zucchini. The recipe calls for 2 lbs of the stuff, so I dragged out my kitchen scale and weighed it. This pile is 1 lb. It's the result of one medium zucchini shredded all the way to the top nub. After it's shredded, it should be salted and drained in a colander for 30 minutes. I found that mine didn't drain easily, so I had to squeeze out the liquid after half an hour.
