Frozen courgette

I'm trying to use up everything in my freezer as it could do with a good defrost and start again.

I've come across a bag of frozen courgettes... Anyone have any great recipes that could help me to use these up? Otherwise it will be meat and courgette for the next week!

Edited: Also have a lot of frozen sausages to use up.
It's just me in the house so any bulk meals will need to be freezable to be eaten within a week or so.
I'm on a very tight budget this month, so preferably recipes that are budget friendly or use cupboard staples.

    This one's got your name on it.


    I've tried courgettes stuffed with rice and cheese, they were really nice. I didn't have a particular recipe, I just used a packet of savoury rice plus some chopped veg and cheese.

    they disappear into almost any soup very easily.

    Courgettes make lovely roast veg with couscous.

    Chuck 'em in a roasting tray, add any other veg you have hanging round (tomatoes are yummy, garlic, onion), bit of olive oil, salt and pepper and bung in oven on mid/high heat for about 30 mins.

    Near end of cooking time, make up some couscous (I add a chicken oxo to the stock), mix together and serve. Yummy.

    When I have lots of courgettes from my veggie patch I slice them then freeze them and then when I have bag full I make soup.

    Its really easy - just chuck them in a pan with a chicken or veggie stock cube and cook until the courgettes are soft and then blend them with a couple of cheese triangles.

    Yummy!
  • This uses courgette, aubergine, onion, red pepper, yellow pepper. Yummy with some noodles.
