With our Tea tonight....

Fried Courgette ‘n Garlic

One or Two sliced courgettes - 10mm slices
One onion  - sliced  - 10mm slices
Finely chopped garlic – 1 clove (or ¾ teaspoon tube garlic)
Salt and pepper – preferably fresh from a grinder.

Add courgettes to pan with a bit of oil and marg. Don’t separate onion and add to pan. Fry for about 6 minutes turning a few times.
Add garlic, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, and a few more...
Fry and turn again for a few minutes.
Courgettes need to be a bit crisp and not all mushy so adjust times to suit.

Simples..

We bake them in the oven with tomatoes, peppers, red onions etc anything you like add some olive oil and a touch of balsamic vinegar, gorgeous they go with anything, we just use them as a veg, with steak, pork, lamb.  Give it a go.

It sounds good but you can leave out the peppers... !!

That's a great way to do them Ms Cricket! It's going in the book of recipes!

Just as an aside, are will you be changing your name to suit the season...;0)

I hate it when the cricket season finishes, and Mrs Growster starts to get all excited about the harvest!

I never win that one!

Zucchini slice

Grated courgette - 375g.
Grated cheese - 1 cup!
1 large onion - chopped,
3 rashers of bacon - chopped,
1 cup of S.R. flour
1/4 cup of oil
4 medium eggs.

Combine all and chuck into a greased oven proof shallow dish.  Into a pre-heated oven for 40 - 50 minutes, what temp? no idea, just trust to luck.

Ready when it is firm to the touch and nicely brown on top.  Like a quiche without the pastry.

Cheers,    Tony.

I just made a huge batch of marrow and ginger jam  :)

I decided on a whim to make the last few jarfuls into marrow, ginger and chilli jam by stirring in a little cayenne. It's added a real kick to it, which I'm hopeful will mellow after a few months  :lol:

I'm sure someone else must have tried something like it......................

I'll never change my name and I'm only a part time widow as I do the cricket teas and I do score also and I have been known to play, it is a matter of if you can't beat them join them and I would never see the better half during cricket season if I did not join in.  My cricket teas are legendry the other clubs in the league don't want to go up or down as they won't get my teas (lol).

Somehow, cricket teas were (are) the nicest way to eat gorgeous sandwiches with tea and real cake, because there was always the smell of grass, the bubble of the urn, and the moaning of the captain to make the day so fantastic!

I reckon that if you started a business, just calling yourself, 'Cricket Teas'. you'd make a fortune!

I love courgette fritters with salad, chips and mayo  :tongue2:    Courgette pakora is a good way of hiding them
I couldn't believe how gorgeous courgette soup would be. It's lush  :)

I grow yellow varieties so I can hide them in cakes and tell folks it's carrot cake or muffins  :happy:  My husband thinks he doesn't like courgettes  ::)
