Cut into fingers then dipped in a light tempura batter and fried.
Absolutely delicious and one of my favourite starters in a restaurant.
Finger length red peppers are also good treated in the same way.

Stuffed, various recipes, chopped in curries, casseroles, chilli and ratatouille. Sliced lengthways, marinaded and on the bbq, skewers with mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers and aubergine, grated (drain off juice) with plain yoghurt, mint and spices. My friend eats the raw in a salad.

I slice them lengthways or cut them in rounds if they're larger, drizzle with olive oil and herbs and roast in the oven if I'm cooking something in the oven.

And courgette and lime cake is delicious.
