Cooking with courgettes ...

I see one or two Veg Gardeners, like me, are awaiting the inevitable courgette avalanche. It starts with one courgette being enjoyed, cooked into pasta or ratatouille, shortly followed by panic induced pleas for recipes and ideas. So, getting ahead (for once!), how do you cook/store yours? Recipes please!

I m going to grow courgettes for the first time this year, and don t know how many plants I ll need to provide 2 or 3 courgettes a week, my family are not keen, but I enjoy them in a stir fry, or roasted with pepper, onions etc., I ve set 3 seeds in pots indoors so far, and have a sunny spot ready in my little garden.

Hi Kathleen,

I grew 4 courgettes last year as they're big plants and my veg patch has to accommodate a lot of plants. I think your three plants, if all mature well, will provide you with the veg you need. Last year I grew a normal courgette and this year I'm branching out into fancy courgettes: a round one, a trailing one and one that's pale yellow with a green end! I love courgettes and share any extra produce with my neighbours.
