Hi elly,

There are loads of ideas that should help on this earlier thread so I've added your post to it to keep the suggestions together.

I like frying them on a grill pan, then squirting lemon juice and sprinkling parmesan cheese on top. Then I eat them with crackers. Yum. I just love courgettes.

Hi everyone, Ive had three courgettes in my veg box this week and I dont have a clue what to do with them.

Whenever I have eaten them they have been soggy so it put me off them.

Can you freeze them?

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks

hi cathchat,

if it's the cooked texture you're not fond of, do you like it raw, cut into strips and dipped into HM houmous?

I do :rotfl::o

Fry them in oil with salt and a but of chilli powder - not for too long and they will stay fairly crispy- delicious!!

fry them in butter and glaze with honey garlic and ginger. also delicious.

Add them to pasta sauces after the onions are cooked, give them 3-5 mins cooking then add the tomato sauce. Make sure they are sliced in 5mm slices.

[Don't freeze them, they will go even more soggy].

Hi CathChat,

I've added your thread to an earlier one that should help you to use your courgettes. They can be frozen but because of their high water content they tend to be a bit mushy once defrosted so best used in soups, casseroles etc.

I make a pasta sauce with courgettes...
Cut up courgettes, cook with a little butter until soft.
Add, about a table spoon of creme fraiche, per courgette to the pan, then blend the mixture.
Season to taste.
Mix with freshly cooked pasta. :drool:

If you make a large batch, it does freeze well
