seb47 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I've just tried out a recipe found in my gardening magazine that is yummy and helps no end with the courgette glut: fry off some onions and loads of garlic, then add chopped courgettes and sliced potatoes. Quantities don't really matter - just use a big pan then you can freeze leftovers. Add at least a litre of chicken stock and season to taste. Simmer for about 20 -30 mins, then blend in batches. Everyone I've tried it out on (French included) has loved it.Sue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumGirl Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I did this the other day (no recipe, just using up leftovers) and it was a big hit. I also put in some sauteed green beans.PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony F Dordogne Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Instead of the spuds, try it with very small pasta, also freezes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 As most of our courgettes have now turned to marrows do you think these could be used instead or has anyone got any good marrow recipes please which will freeze?Jackie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Same soup as above, but I'd peel the marrows first...Variation: gently fry curry spices with onions+garlic, then as before; add coriander+yogurt when ready to serve. Will freeze well, but don't put the yogurt until reheated.Courgettes are also tasty when sliced (thickness of a € coin), tossed with Edam cubes + grated nutmeg, usual salt & pepper, then simply baked (preferably in a deep dish) until a knife goes through. Pretty healthy too, as no added oil or butter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
