More courgette uses
1) Apple, blackberry and courgette pie!
We had a few windfall apples, not enough to make a pie but by including some courgettes chopped and treated the same as the apples they made a pleasant inclusion in the pie. The courgettes were almost tasteless as such and just picked up the taste of the blackberries. Their texture was virtually identical to that of the apple. Ratio about twice the weight of apple to courgettes. 2) Raw! I'd just read online that courgettes can be eaten raw and are often used in salads etc. I've just sat and eaten a whole one - eating it like a long apple, skin and all. Slightly nutty flavour. Not particularly sweet but not sour either. Apparently quite nutritious and very low in calories. Cheaper and more healthy than my usual evening snack of a bag of crisps. Quite filling too. Even the dogs came to investigate and shared a few morsels of it with me! -- David in Normandy.
