All Those Courgettes (Zucchini if you live on the west side of the pond)

What to do with courgettes (and other cucubits):



  • courgette cake - see my item 'Comparatively Healthy Cakes.
  • grate into soup and cook for a couple of minutes
  • ratatouille soup, will give recipe* later
  • saute in oil with garlic, herbs and seasoning, adding a little stock from cooking the vegetables
  • ratatouille, with aubergines, peppers, onions etc
  • steam 
  • chargrill
  • cut in half lengthways, scoop out middle (put middle bits into the soup!), fill with any mixture of your choice and put grated cheese on top and grill and/or serve with a tomato sauce 
  • a mixture of grated courgette and carrot with some sesame seeds makes a fine salad, can add dressing if liked
  • courgette chutney (recipe* to follow)
  • aubergine and courgette crostini (recipe* to follow)
(* my reminder)



On the Paignton Garden Home & Allotment Society website  (http://www.phgas.org/) I put a query about what to do with all those excess courgettes.  I await ideas, but in the meantime here's a site with a few suggestions:
