Lots of courgettes??

Noozan

Cream of courgette soup.

From "The Taste of Health" - this is very healthy and tastes much yummier than you would think.
Boil some spaghetti. Grate a courgette. Drain the spaghetti. Tip the grated courgette into it. (Yes, you don't need to cook it.) Mix. (I add butter but then I'm not trying to be that healthy!) Grate some cheese on top. Serve.

Did you get that? I do like easy recipes!

Spare a thought for me. I got some japanese eggplant. I'm still searching on the net what to do with them.

I do a lovely corgette quiche & a slice. They are great. Or just steam and put a bit of butter & S & P.

fry for a few minutes with some other veg such as mushrooms and peppers, add basil and tomato pasta sauce or passata - or a tin of tomatoes, serve with pasta and grated cheese

Oh I just slice them and add them to stirfrys as you would mushrooms peppers etc

You can roast them of course

Slice thinly and have on the top of a pizza

Use in a nut bake ( ive never done this but seen in supermarket, so it must be possible made by a person not a machine

YUM

You dont need to peel them BTW, just rinse & Slice & use...

Slice thinly then fry in oil gently until they break down into mush, then add s & p, natural yogurt or cream until you've got the right consistence for pasta sauce

Just slice them and fry them in an omelette pan with some butter until golden. Yum yum

I'd definitely second that; or slice and steam them then toss them in a little extra virgin olive oil for a slightly healthier option.

Just remembered another - not great for the waistline ;-)
Peel into ribbons and zap in microwave (in a bowl)for about 2 mins with butter.
This is really lush, and you can do the same with carrots. Looks really pretty on the plate - I used to serve it with trout.

(The 'ribbons' are achieved by simply using a peeler along the length of the courgette. Gives a nice wide but thin 'ribbon')

3 eggs, beaten
130ml milk
350g plain flour

This recipe is a great way of getting children to eat more vegetables and has been a regular feature on the lunch menu at Landscove Primary School and the children seem to love it.

1. Line a 20 x 35cm baking tray with baking paper and set the oven to 190ºC/350ºF.

2. Mix the butter, oil and both sugars together until light and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time and then the milk until mixed thoroughly.

3. Sift the dry ingredients together and fold into the mixture. Stir in grated and peeled courgettes, vanilla and spoon into tin. Bake for 35 -45 minutes.

Cut into squares whilst still warm.
