Lots of courgettes??

I used grated courgette in the soup I made yesterday and it worked really well. Didn;t bother salting - just fried them with an onion and chucked them in.

I agree, I never usually bother salting them, I only do it for the burgers because they disintegrate otherwise.

Hi

I have not had any success in freezing courgettes on their own. I usually fry up an onion and add the sliced courgettes then a tin of tomatoes and some herbs.
Once cooled I freeze this mixture and use it for a making a veg lasagne.

How do you freeze the courgettes without them going mushy when defrosted?

Well, 3 freezer bags full anyway. These were from my father and I simply chopped them up and put them in the freezer. I am trying to empty my freezer and havent a clue what to do with them. I know you can put them in pasta etc in a tomato sauce problem is I dont like them cooked that way. They have been frozen so come out alittle soggy once defrosted. I dont want to throw them away but cant think of anything to do with them. I have a DD who is 8 months old. Anyone got any good receipes I could use for her maybe.

in my mary berry book is a courgette cake - think you spread it with butter so am thinking soggy wouldn't matter - let me know if want and will try and type up quickly!!

Hi judi,

We have an older thread with ideas on what to do with courgettes that should help you, so I'll merge your thread with it as it helps to keep all the suggestions together. Posts are listed in date order so you'll need to read from the beginning to see all the replies.

Title says it all really. I usually grate them up and put them into spag bol. or have them in a pasta dish. Any tasty (easy ) ideas would be gratefully received. I'm having baked ham tonight, probably with potatoes. If the courgette dish wouldn't go with ham then I could have it tomorrow. I need inspiration.

Slice into rounds, dip in milk, then coat with seasoned flour, shallow fry in olive oil, not great if dieting, but yummy!

Hi organic wannabe,

This older thread might give you some ideas: too many courgettes

I'll merge your thread with that one later as it helps to keep all the suggestions together.
