Courgettes, courgettes and more courgettes...

...and a few marrows!
I was on furlough earlier in the year, and managed to prepare the garden really well. As a result, this week so far I have picked 6 courgettes and 2 medium marrows, and I think they're speeding up! I've got a feeling we're going to get fed up fairly quickly. My usual methods are fried with onions (either sliced or spiralised), roasted with other veg in a traybake, sliced and thrown on the BBQ or diced into a sauce. The marrows I'll stuff with a mince filling or roast in rings.

Now I've written it, that does look quite varied, but what other things can they be used for? Do they freeze, or do they go mushy?

I’ve made courgette fritters and quiche by grating them and also use to bulk out bolognese sauce.

Courgetti.  But seriously if you have too many just bung them my way.

I grate them and put them in a frittata.

Quarter each one length ways, drizzle with olive oil, dust in a mix of grated Parmesan, garlic powder and herbs and bung in the oven till brown, cheesy courgette fries 😁

They will go mushy if you freeze them, so first cook them int a sauce or soup or bolognase, then it can be frozen.

Chutney, they make a very nice chutney if they get too abundant and because the skin is soft you don't have to peel them like you do marrows.

I use courgette in a few cake recipes. No idea what to do with marrows except stuff them.

i share your pain    i made this last night and used 3 courgettes, 3 went next door and there's 3 more in the fridge i'm frightened what i'll find when I go and water later    they hide under leaves

The recipe does half and will freeze once cooked, as the filo goes soft i do reheat in my air fryer but it would work in the oven

A colleague used to bring courgette cake into the staff room, it was bit like carrot cake, delicious. Can't help with a recipe, sorry, but dare Google can.

I make a sort of sloppy ratatouille comprising finely chopped onion, celery and garlic, finely sliced courgettes and a tin of chopped tomatoes.You can also add chopped red peppers, mixed herbs, a squirt or two of tomato puree, or dash of Worcester sauce, depending on taste. It freezes beautifully. It can be used as a side with meat or fish, on baked potatoes or as a base for a vegetable lasagna.
