Lots of courgettes??

This sounds nice. Years ago my Mum used to buy little plastic basins with grated courgettes, then carrots and layers of other veg. It just hd butter on top and was microwaved. I might try to make a homemade version.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')Nevermind the dog, beware of the kids!0 -
My bf's Mum came round with a bag of veg from her next door neighbour's garden. She knows I'll eat and use up anything and turned her nose up at it.
There are lovely runner beans and tomatoes but there are these marrow looking things. She said they were courgettes but they are unlike any courgettes I have seen. I'm happy to use them but what do I do with them? They are like big, rounder (rather than cucumber shape) pale courgettes. Any ideas??Since starting again after beanie: June 2016: Child development DVDs, Massive Attack tickets. July: Aberystwyth trip, hotmilk nightie. Aug: £10 Hipp Organic vouchers, powerpack.

Courgettes can come in all shapes and colours so don't worry. I prefer them chunky in soups but you can blend them as well.
This thread has loads more ideas for using them:

I'll add your thread to it later to keep the suggestions together.
