Throw courgettes away, drink red wine.

I don't drink red wine, so what do you suggest? :-)

Give it to me?



Problem is that they are one of the easiest veg to grow - and the glut at
the end is the main part of the problem !

Indeed:) Some of us are collecting recipes for using them up:)) So, if you
have any good recipes..................

We are overwhelmed with blackcurrants this year. For some reason the birds
don't
eat them.

Make wine/vinegar?

Blackcurrant vinegar?

Why not? When I was a child, ice cream from the ice cream seller had
raspberry vinegar liberally sprinkled on:)

What about pickle?

Yers! What about pickle g just kidding:)) I don't have the
facilities at the moment, but that is a very good idea. Do you have
recipes
please?


It's an ingredient of Almost Original Branston Pickles.

I'm looking for a good recipe for lime chutney.

ATM almost everything I eat contains added fresh blackcurrants including
muesli.
I am the only one in the family who likes them.

I hope it keeps you regular..as they say..................

It is amazing how much surplus courgette can be 'hidden' in a curry
this
way, and eaten by those who hate them.

It's amazing how many things can be hidden in a curry!

I got rid of quite a few substandard apples that way last autumn

Hmmmm we don't eat curry. Any other dishes for hiding these things?
:)

I'm not keen either, however you can use spices such as cumin, to
enhance the flavour, sprinkle on. Cut up courgettes with skins on,
sprinkle with olive oil or a lighter oil, sprinkle on a little cumin,
and/or fresh herbs, even parsley chopped up very fine is good. A
small sprinkle of salt and white pepper and roast until cooked and
slightly brown, serve with any dish you like, fish or meat. You will
get some juice, if you want to make a sauce, use your imagination on
how to thicken it, if meat, I reduce it with a little red wine and if
fish I add fromage blanc or frais.

Share?

Order???? come and visit the wine celler here, I'm not allowed to
touch the red stuff as himself has forbidden me to even tidy up over
there!

I was looking just yesterday on making fruit vinegars, we made jelly
from our currants this year, the yield is much smaller as the berries
are thrown away after pressing a bit. It has much less sugar and is
good with meats.

Lucky you getting an ice cream, with 5 of us, that didn't happen, too
expensive. Instead my Mother would buy a block of ice cream and give
us all a little slice between 2 wafers, I can still taste the soggy
wafer at the very last mouthful.

Certainly is. I now pick them every day, we have 4 big plants.
Picking them finger size is good, I eat them raw.

Fry the flowers in batter and stamp on the rest :o)

or plant marrows which have far more flavour and bigger flowers.

And are so much bigger that I can't cope with any more than 1 in a
month!!!! BTW I have a recipe for marrow and ginger jam, I love it!

Ahh but my beloved Grandpa used to take me down the park to the
clubhouse he belonged, (bowling I think). Other Grandpas would take their
grandchildren too and we all played together. We all got ice cream cones
(with raspberry vinegar) when the man on his bike with the cart in front
came by:)

I can still taste the soggy
wafer at the very last mouthful.

All part of the experience:)

Your quoting has failed.

Only cos I didn't notice her signature at the end. Anyway, you need to be
nice to Judith! She has a recipe for lemon chutney and I suspect you could
use your limes instead:)
