Stuffed; chopped and sauted for pasta sauce; chutney and soup. What would you do with it please? Cheers

Courgette fritters are nice

alc28, I rather fancy fritters but as the courgette is a large ball I may have trouble getting the outer peel on each piece would it matter?

I've just been serching high and low for the recipe which i had but can't find it, itsn't that always the way
From what i remember though the courgette was shredded and was in a batter along the lines of an american sweetcorn fritter, so i don't think it would matter not having the skin on each bit, but one thing i do remember doing was salting the grated courgette and leaving for 10 mins to get rid of some of the water, just like you would do with cucumber for a rita.
I will endevour to serch for the recipe and no dout drive hubby mad as i pull the study apart in the process ,D,

ooh that sounds really good cheers

I have tried to find that recipe but i have had no luck, there are a few recipes on the uktv food site for courgette fritters in which you grate the courgette though and also if you check out the baking competition there are a couple of cakes on there which contain courgette or zucchini as the Americans like to call it, it might make a quite interesting alternative to always having savory courgette,
Sorry i couldn't find that recipe but if you find a recipe for American sweetcorn fritters you could substitute the corn for courgette.

Thanks alc29 for all your trouble. I have found a recipe in one of my recipe books for courgette fritters which also contain grated potato, onion, red pepper folded into a thick batter mixture but as the recipe suggests the veggie combination can be altered. Am really looking forward to giving it a try (obviously not with the round courgette which made lots of asian spiced soup) Cheers

You could try my mother's chocolate zucchini cake which is great for using up oversized courgettes (zucchinis). I'd recommend only using the hard flesh and the skins rather than the softer flesh and seeds. She used to make this to use up her courgettes when they grew too big.

It is deliciously moist and a great (but arguably not ideal) way of getting kids to eat their greens.
