| 3 | I'll watch this thread with interest. Right now my green courgette plant is all male flowers and no fruit, but I hope it won't be long before I'm in the happy position of poster #1 bedazzledjewels - 2011-01-05 18:16:00 |

| 6 | Quiche, fry up with onions and tomatoes. Courgette grated in a savoury slice is nice and courgette cake is nice and moist like carrot. molly37 - 2011-01-05 19:06:00 |

| 8 | They're nice grilled or bbq'd too.. brush with a little oil if you want.. or make a courgette cake: 1/ Alison Holst's ZUCCHINI/COURGETTE CHOCOLATE CAKE Using an electric mixer or food processor beat the butter, with the sugars, until light and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, with a spoonful of the flour to prevent curdling. Add the vanilla and yogurt and mix well. Add the sifted dry ingredients, then stir in the grated zucchini/courgettes. Turn into greased or lined 25cm cake pan and sprinkle the top with the chocolate bits/chips/drops. * Quote 245sam (15 ) 2/ This is the lovely recipe I used, posted by nzbadger, 2 cups of Grated Zucchini( skin on is OK) Add the zucchini mix to this flour mix. Mix with spatula till just mixed. * Quote luckyduck (346 floralsun - 2011-01-05 19:42:00 |

| 11 | i like to grate them and pop in clean tea towel to wring out excess water, then you can add to a bit of grated potatoe and pan fry, or cold rice and an egg to make patties, or with eggs and other vege to make a vege baker or fritatta, pan fry and add to omlettes stir fry with onions and tomatoes. roast, pop on kebabs, add to thai chicken patties, pop into meatloafs, add to spag bog or lasagna, yum yum yum motorbo - 2011-01-05 19:49:00 |
| 12 | BBQ mine with celery salt - or even eat them raw with celery salt & any sour cream based dip. socram - 2011-01-05 19:51:00 |
| 13 | I slice mine up, place in the microwave with butter & garlic for about 1min till the butter has melted, then place on the BBQ or in a frying pan yummy hisandhers2 - 2011-01-05 19:54:00 |

| 16 | I made Alison Holst's zuchinni chocolate cake today. It is very nice and I would definitely make it again. I also made a salad with the grated zuchinni, grated carrot, red onion and cabbage sliced finely, pepper and salt and french dressing. It was good too. I'm finally on top of my great zuchini crop but oh what to do with all the cucumbers! mummyzara - 2011-01-05 21:49:00 |

| 21 | Stir fries - I tend to avoid doing circle cuts as they are less sweet and more bitter. I second the zucchini chocolate loaf/muffins/cake. THey're delicious! Try lightly steaming with a little olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Add a little onion cut in slivers if you want it to caramalise onto it. The sweetness of the zucchini and the onions complement each other. I put them into pasta salads, pasta dishes, with rice, in curries, etc. They're rather versatile, so if you think you can make it, give it a go! Try cutting them in different ways as the way you cut it will affect its flavour. Similar to onions and meat. stjimmy - 2011-01-11 09:30:00 |

| 23 | Slice them length-ways, cover with grated cheese & grill! Delicious! lindylambchops1 - 2011-01-11 12:04:00 |
| 24 | Courgettes pan fried or bbq'd together with aubergine, capsicum and red onion, sliced with a dash of whatever herbs (cumin seeds are YUM! with this) or garlic added have been on the menu here, every second or third night. We are loving them. I just add something different every now and then (like tomatoes or mushrooms) to keep from becoming bored with it. herself - 2011-01-11 16:15:00 |
| 25 | Shred them up with a julienne peeler and use in place of pasta. Or you can do a chunkier version with a normal vegetable peeler :) visionspring - 2011-01-11 16:55:00 |
| 26 | bread n butter pickles. Great on sammies and with a cheese board. creeky1 - 2011-01-11 16:56:00 |

| 28 | google 'images' stuffed courgettes theres heaps of recipes, i do mine by cutting into halves lengthways, use a teaspoon to scrape out the centre and then top/stuff with minced garlic, feta cheese, grated cheese, finely diced red pepper and finely diced mushrooms all binded together with diced sundried tomatos. Bake in a hot oven for 15-20mins until courgette is cooked thru and topping is bubbling...mmmmmm purplegoanna - 2011-09-13 09:24:00 |

| 36 | Yeah I thought so Elliehen. What are the other corgette type ones that look like flying saucers or spinning tops thought I might plant for some variation beaker59 - 2011-09-17 20:34:00 |

Sunbeam squash are the little yellow ones - that grow the size of plates if you let them, but there is a green variety as well. Like zucchini, they are better small. gardie - 2011-09-18 06:43:00 |

Scallopine. We've grown the yellow ones and the pale green ones and they are both good, with a firmer texture than zucchini. davidt4 - 2011-09-18 10:33:00 |
| 39 | Delicious finger food snacks. Leave skins on, tip & tail. Slice length ways into quarters then strips. Dip in flour, egg, breadcrumbs. Fry until golden & crispy. Serve with aioli. YUM taratoo - 2011-10-14 15:47:00 |
| 40 | Its an outdated thread i know - but in anticipation of the courgette glut.... Roll on Summer! bev00 - 2012-10-14 00:38:00 |
| 41 | Slice and layer with tomatoes, garlic, basil and olive oil and bake slowly in oven. frances1266 - 2012-10-14 07:14:00 |
| 42 | Donate to others...that's the trouble, they don't freeze well at all, and you end up with them coming out your ears.... I mainly use them in stir fries, in casseroles too but you have to add them at the end or they disintegrate. lythande1 - 2012-10-14 08:37:00 |
| 43 | In summer I make all of the above plus Zucchini Relish to store for later. juliette55 - 2012-10-14 16:15:00 |

| 49 | Grated with finely chopped onion, lightly fried and then pour over beaten eggs, to make omelette. Season of course. My favourite breakfast leonieb - 2013-10-15 16:34:00 |
| 50 | Great lightly grilled along with eggplant, red peppers and mushrooms and used as topping on pizza . This combination is also good in a salad. nauru - 2013-10-16 10:48:00 |
