Weedon Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 I currently find myself on a diet of lettuce and courgettes with raspberries and cherries as desert. Can anybody suggest a wine to go with it? Or instead of preferably. I am losing the battle with the courgettes and lettuce even after having a 'happy hour' with both. Is there some better use I can put the courgettes too instead of eating them because, you have to admit, they are on the 'c list' as far as veg goes are they not?

Pixietoadstool Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Pick the courgettes when they are about as long as an index finger. Fry the washed whole vegetables lightly in oil and butter until they start to brown (lowish heat) then add some salt, black pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice - this moves them up to A list status (only recipe I know that does apart from substituting the black pepper for a shake of chilli powder).Enjoy!

Lebourg Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 You can make a really good Courgette and Cumin soup. It is quite spicey. If you want the recipe let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not make some courgette chutney? My neighbour gave me loads last year, a funny greeney black colour. I chopped, added onions, turmeric, vinegar and sugar, and boiled. Voila!!Didnt have a recipe, but it turned out great. Next time, I think I will add a little curry powder to give a little more 'kick'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
