I finally used up the one super-sized courgette....

You think you've got problems ?

Illte?

A first for us growing cucumbers

I have dozens of big courgettes from my allotment I ve been giving them away and still have about six big ones golden, green and speckled left they ve been magnificent
I also got patty pan squash which I don’t know what you do with

Goodness, @Illte, what do you do with them? Spiralize them into courgetti? Add them to a tomatoey pasta sauce?

A dd was given a real whopper recently - more like a marrow, and didn’t know what to do with it. I suggested stuffing it - I don’t think stuffed marrow is too bad at all, not that I’ve had it more than once in the past 10 years or so.

I like the look of those cucumbers! Cucumber fan here, would def. grow some if we had room for a greenhouse.

We have one oversized courgette in the fridge, perhaps stuffed "marrow" tomorrow (and the next day and Saturday) and there's another one still growing on the plant.

Do not mention cucumbers!
The cucumber soup went down the loo. We hate wasting food but it was horrible.

Courgette bake freezes ok, Illte as long as you don't cook the courgettes too much first.

I have enjoyed quite a few courgette cakes lately! Apart from incorporating courgettes into most meals for about 2 months now!

All home grown but they have finished now.

Sorry Callistemon I laughed out loud at your cucumber soup going down the loo... ?

Or sliced lengthways thickly, distinctly with flour, salt and pepper, brush with olive oil and grill or barbecue.

I have no idea where distinctly came from

Dust with flour etc
?

Nortsat

I did post on another thread; it took ages to make, cucumbers peeled, deseeded, fried onions and garlic gently, added diced cucumbers (about 7 of them!), added stock, cooked then blitzed.
It tasted bitter, I added a little sugar and DH said "I'd like to say this tastes good but I can't" (something like that). He'll eat anything!

We have given lots away too, they taste fine raw.

BlueBelle patty pan is lovely roasted with some herbs Ours have been awful this year. Fallen off their stalks when quite small or rotted. Last year we had loads. Perhaps it’s the wet.

I love courgettes. Anyone with a glut is most welcome to deposit some on our doorstep...

Can I ask Bbeven do you peel it or roast it in its overcoat I ve got 4 at the moment ???

This was yesterday’s harvest

Everything is past its best here now and all the veg has been eady very early this year.

That was only yesterday's haul. They're all there again today?

And alas, alack, I have no freezer callistemon. At the beginning of March the workmen arrived as arranged and ripped out the kitchen, utility room and downstairs toilet.

Then we went into lockdown and they were all furloughed?

Then they were unfurloughed and knocked down walls and plastered and plumbed with a will. But all my appliances were stuck somewhere in Ireland.

I'm hoping to have a cooker and freezer soon.

Meanwhile it's salmon and courgettes for dinner?

Oh no!
Courgette bake is out too then, although you could make ratatouille in a microwave (if you have one).
Our new kitchen never got past the planning stage, so the old one got a good clean instead.
We had salmon and green beans last night.

Courgette and lime cake is lovely, as long as people haven't had too much cake already in lockdown.

No need to peel * BlueBelle* Just bung it in with a little oil , seasoning and your choice of herbs.

I grated one into today's Bolognese sauce along with a carrot. Getting veg into dgs the sneaky way.

Slice the courgette into about 2cm slices, fry the slices until they begin to go brown. Meanwhile cook some onions, tomatoes, garlic and mince (if you're not veggie). Pile the tomato mix on to the garlic slices. Top with cheese (mozarella and parmesan work well). Bake for about 30 minutes. Freezes well.
