Picked courgettes on Weds last week, meant to pick again on Thursday to get
the small ones to take for my mum as we wouldn't be back for a few days. Didn't get a chance, but didn't think they'd be huge cos of the lack of rain. Went last night and they're about 3' long and over 6" diameter! Picked about 12 (more than half of that giant size, the rest medium size) and left another half dozen or so that will be picking size by today. -- |

Chutney or soup - by the sounds of it both. There is a limit to how much Ratatouille you can consume in one season and stay sane. Actually, there's not that much of a limit on how much butter-fried-courgette I can eat, I am happy to eat it all meals. Unfortunately Nick and Daniel aren't so keen. However - gardening club show is coming up, and I do need to try making chutney this year, I think. Possibly left it a bit late, less than 3 weeks to go now. But I may still give it a try. Anyone got a useful recipe? (I'm unlikely to even consider eating the vile stuff!) Fresh small ones are great stir fried with a half a chilli - and spaghetti somewhat more interesting that way. After a while you start dreaming of recipes that use courgettes but taste of something else! I like my courgettes to taste of courgette. I made courgette fried rice (with rice from the chinese takeaway cos Nick didn't want to cook!!) last night, and have the leftovers for lunch. I've made courgette cake before now - a bit odd with green ones, but I have yellows as well this year, so it may look less scary. But I always found they tasted a bit odd. |
