Wish you lived near me, I would buy some off you I love courgettes! I used two this evening in vegetable sweet and sour (you can chop them really finely for this and disguise them if your children don't like them). I am going to need to buy more tomorrow for a potato bake.0

I chop them finely and add to bolognese sauce/chilli con carne. Just remember to add extra stock/seasoning to make up for the watery/blandness when substituted for meat!0
-
If they are finel,y chopped and well cooked they aren't noticable in tomato based pasta dishes, curries, chillis etc.Nevermind the dog, beware of the kids!0
-
slice them in half length ways.
layer on top of each half, cheese/sliced tomatos/olives and italian herbs.
bake for 20 mins approx and serve with rice.0 -
Finely chopped & added to an omelette or spanish omelette0

Nigel Slater has a lovely recipe for courgette cakes, which is in his kitchen diaries book.
I often roast mine with aubergine, peppers and tomato and have it with couscous and loads of flat leaf parsley, lemon juice and olive oil.
I was trying to find a chutney recipe that I could use my glut of courgettes up with. Something tangy and spicy, however I've not found a recipe yet.0 -

Made me smile. :rotfl: My mum used to grow them and had the same problem about using them up and they ended up in every meal. We ate so many of them I now dont like them! :rotfl:
Good Luck!0 -
I cook them and either blend them into soups or into a tomato sauce for spaghetti. Or when I make kebabs for a bbq I use cubed courgettes0
