Hi Alfietinker,

Here are another couple of courgette threads that may be worth your while reading:

Thanks you two - I did try searching for courgettes but nothing came up. I think I must be doing something wrong as I can never find things using the search!

Don't worry...you're not the only one. I have trouble myself....but there's always someone around that knows the answer.

You're welcome I'll do the merge now.

Hi all

I picked up a pack of courgettes yesterday while shopping, purely because they were reduced! I need to do somthing with them and fairly soon but i havent used them much and dont particularly like them just plain and boiled.

So any ideas peeps???

Oh and i have about 3 or 4 large ones!

Thanks

Feisty!

They are nice chopped up and stir-fried.

You could use them in a lasagne, or ratatouie, or in a pasta sauce. I sometimes make spaghetti with courgettes, slice them very finely with a sharp knife (lengthwise), fry for a few minutes, mix in with cooked pasta with a bit of white balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and i think pine nuts (It was a Waitrose recipe).

(Zucchini are courgettes. ).

I'm going to try growing my own courgettes this year purely so I can make lots of these yummy treats.

Also, there's a page of courgette recipes here --> http://www.abelandcole.co.uk/Content/Recipes/Courgettes.htm#recipe17
and I can particularly recommend the Carrot and Courgette salad, especially if you have some fresh herbs!

I use them in soups, or last night I stir fried courgette batons with a sliced red onion and some chopped garlic in a small amount of oil. Stir fry until they're just beginning to go dark golden in colour.
