as usual i have grown to many courcettes and know have them coming out of my ears so any recipes for presearving them or making chuntneys gratefuly recieved

I have about 15 in the fridge and about 10 cucumbers but luckily I'm going to a BBQ tomorrow and I'm taking them all along in the hope there will be some takers!

I've never done anything to preserve courgettes so I don't have any recipes, sorry!

But I do like griddling them brushed with a bit of olive oil and oregano and eating them with feta cheese crumbled all over them, which goes wonderfully with them. Griddle a few slices of onion and some tomatoes as well and it is heaven.

There is a good green tomato chutney recipe from the river cottage cookbook, I made it last year... uses as many courgette as you like really. In fact I think I typed it up last year for someone...

Also, courgette bread is good, pretty much a cup full of grated courgette in an ordinary loaf recipe, lovely and moist.

I must have been late getting ours started, we still haven't had one courgette

Here is the recipe, I had typed it up for neeps http://neeps.myfreeforum.org/about5426. ... courgettes

Nearly forgot, there's the wonderful courgette cake recipe posted years back on this forum. Try a forum search for 'courgette cake'. Then you can freeze it. My french friends still talk about my green cake.

i blanche and freeze a lot of courgettes (slices) and then use them up in chili, casserole, curry etc.

Ha ha only if they are inundated with the things themselves.... and back in April I wasn't.

I might balk at it right now though.
