Top 7 Courgette ideas!



Its that time of year again when the courgettes are glutting like crazy and you need a wheelbarrow to get them back home.  Your friends and family are most likely sick of them or scared to come round for tea but it needn’t be like that.  I for one love courgette and cant get enough of them.  I have put together this handy little guide of my top  courgette recipe’s and where to find them.

1. Tomato and courgette bake. 

I love making this for the family and the kids love it.  Its ideal to take care of those excess tomato’s too.! I like this recipe from allrecipese.co.uk





2. Courgette, jalapeno an feta nachos.



These make a great light lunch ideal for those long summer days where you need to grab a quick bite between shovelling courgettes.




3.Courgette Chutney

I know its hard to believe you'll want to eat courgettes ever again after august but this chutney is to die for,  I love it with those cold sliced meats you have around the festive period.  And don’t for get homemade chutneys make a fantastic gift




4.Marinated courgettes

I love putting these out as a side dish with a summer roast, they always go down really well and are quick and easy.  I also like to make a load more of the vinaigrette for use with other meals too.


5. Courgette & Aubergine Curry

This curry coincides with aubergine season and is anther great summer dinner party meal.  I make it with all the trimmings including home made naan bread to really show off. 




6. Courgette Soup

I love making soup mainly because its so versatile and easy to make.  Why not make one of these fantastic courgette soup recipes, grab some bread, pop it in your flask and take it with you to the allotment! It always goes down well after a couple of hours digging.



7. Courgette Stir Fry

Believe it or not courgette stir fry’s really well.  I serve stir fried courgette as a side with Chinese or Thai dishes.  I find it goes particularly well with oriental fish recipes and Thai curry.
