Lots of courgettes??

Penelope_Penguin

Chop small, cook slowly with chopped onion and garlic until most of the moisture removed. Add cream, nutmeg, pepper, loads of parmesan, serve with spaghetti.

Hi djtonyb,

As we have a thread with ideas for courgettes, I have merged yours with it as it makes it easier for other Old Style readers to find all the ideas together. As always posts are listed in date order so you'll have to read from the beginning to see all the replies.

Hi Sahsacat

I tried this one earlier in the week and it's lovely. Never had courgette cake before to be able to compare it to anything else, but it was delicious. I alsi substituted butter for bananas, but if you do that, reduce the weight of Bananas you use

Hiya

How about pickled courgettes?

Or making stuff to freeze - I use courgettes in lots of things, grated so the kids don't see them - things like spag bol, lasagne, chilli, shepherds pie - bulks them out cheaply.

Courgette gratin

Roast with roast vegetables

deep fry the flowers in batter

or you could slice, blanch and freeze if all else fails you will probably be glad of them in the winter

I make a Rattatoie(sp?) with mine.

Fry up with onions, courgettes and peppers and then add a tin of chopped tomatoes,(or half a tin depending on quantity) A dash of Balsamic vinegar and some s&p and there you are!:D

If the kids won't eat this(which mine won't) then blend with a hand blender and use as a pasta sauce.

Both of these can be frozen.


I am suppliying half our street with them at the moment, I've got six plants on the allotment!:eek:

I have read that you can fry the courgette flowers in batter if you think you're going to have a glut.

If I can find the recipe I'll post it.
