Another use for courgettes

[Millymollymandy]

God that looks good, even just the icing will do me.

We've been tossing them in the food dehydrator with various spices - just did a curry batch and a orange-teryaki batch. We are considering the curry chips for yule gifts later in the year.

We are still picking faster than we can process.

I made this for Sunday dinner yesterday.
Courgette gratin

I just made this for my tea only I've already had rice twice this week so used macaroni instead! I also topped it with sliced tomatoes and it was delish! Very well-received by the other half! Thanks for posting the recipe

oooh, pasta, I hadn't thought of that, the kids would go for that. Glad you liked it!

I've been making batchs of Courgette curry and freezing down.
http://www.deliaonline.com/community/yo ... curry.html . But have doubled up on all the spices cos it was a bit on the bland side at first.

We're having courgette and pasta tonight, but I must have a go at the bread and chocolate cake.

The bread is fantastic, have yet to convince anyone to eat the cake though.

[Millymollymandy]

Oh what a shame. You'll just have to eat it all yourself.

Which recipe have you made, plain or chocolate?

I've just turned a week's worth into soup so I need to wait for a few more courgettes but I'm going to try the BBC choc one.

I have just made and eaten (two portions ) of this gorgeous creamy courgette lasagne :

It is one of those recipes that you can play around with. Today I diced the courgettes to give more crunch and used mozarella cheese instead of ricotta. Delicious

[Millymollymandy]

Oh that looks easy (especially with cheat's tom sauce ) I love lasagne but never make it these days cos it's such a faff with having to make a tomato sauce AND a white sauce that I can't be bothered, by the time I get to making the bolognese type of sauce I might as well just eat spag bol!

Haven't we had some really great courgette recipes this year! pbf.

[battybird]

Quite looking forward to using up the glut this year! Gave away several the other day and printed off some of these recipes to go with them!!
Now for the tomato glut recipes!! Start with tomato bread, tomato passata sauce, and chutney!!

[Touchwood]

Oh I wish I had a glut of tomatoes, lots of green ones but nothing ripening.

[battybird]

Actually, I was possibly being hopeful...mine are all green too at the moment but loads of them and they are at last starting to turn ...have faith Touchwood...I am sure they will all suddnely go red!!

I'm making the bbc choc courgette cake today, will let you know how it went - it's for my French neighbours who are coming to 'tea' - we've been teaching them how to say things like 'a nice cup of tea' and 'bollocks'. I know that makes no sense whatsoever but my English neighbour gives them English lessons so we being rather wicked keep teaching them naughty things to say in class, like 'dunno' and 'gonna' - it was a bit hard to explain the meaning of bollocks in the rubbish sense - one said "It's a bollocks cat, is that right?". Ummm not quite.

Reminds me of my Thai daughter-in-law who has quite a good command of English, but learned from more unusual sources! I tried to explain what a "lie" was and eventually, realsiation dawned and she said " oh you mean bullshit!!"
Quite off topic but as compensation I will try making the chocolate cake at the weekend!

Hahahaha! Hilarious!

I made zucchini boats stuffed with hamburger and bread last night, basically like a meatloaf stuffed into a hollowed out zucchini with parm sprinkled on top, yum!
