having gone off mince I made a spag bog by frying 4 slices of bacon  along with two large cubed courgettes,  when crispy I added a bottle of bolognaise sauce to it for 20 mins,  cooked some pasta and mixed it all up and sprinkled some cheese on the top.  Quick and easy and very tasty.

We are new to allotment growing (and new here, this is  my 1st post) having only got our 2 plots of 5 rods each in April this year. We have had a good harvest so far including a glut of monster courgettes, being sick of courgette crisps, courgettes in curries, everyone around having monsters as well. I have made an experimental courgette chocolate cake today and it is so delicious, moist and Moorish, it wont last too long  once hubby gets home and is sort of healthy as well. I need to make another one to work out the exact quantities of items used so will post them when I have done that but it basically I used E.V.Olive oil, grated courgette, cocoa powder, cinnamon, Sugar, flour, baking powder, and bicarbonate of Soda along with some eggs. Cooked it all for an hour and then put in chocolate butter cream dusted top with icing sugar and voila!
Oh and courgette chutney as well. Made it at the same time as my green tomato chutney and in the same way. its delicious as well, also made lime pickle as had a glut of limes as well still not made the lemon pickle but have  around 40 of those sitting in the fridge waiting

Quite right, Mum!  We're up to our old tricks of walking to and from The Patch with whatever we have spare, and off-loading them on unsuspecting people whom we meet...

We had eleven cucumbers on one occasion, and nearly got shot of all of them over twenty minutes, but courgettes are a menace this year, as the conditions for them are perfect!

Hi all,
Beside's the usual Zuchinni courgettes, I grow the variety 'Trombicino' which are a bit rampent but can be grown up a trellis.
They have the seeds at one end only, with the rest of the courgette all flesh and therefore less water content.
A light green in colour and they are not F1, therefore the seeds can be saved for next year.

Besides all the different bread recipes you can make with them and the chocolate cake recipe I have. My fav this year is baked breaded courgette sticks. Healthier than deep frying and oooooooooo so moorish. 
Slice your courgette into sticks, sort of like chips. Take three bowls and one you put some plain flour, a pinch of salt and a good grinding of black pepper. The next bowl beat an egg with a little water until blended. Then in the third bowl put some panko breadcrumbs, some freshly grated parmesan(even a handful of grated cheddar will work) add seasonings of choice, I like oregano, garlic powder and a little dried basil. mix well. Put oven on at 200 C and I use one of those non stick sheets on my baking sheet. Take and dip your courgette chips into the flour then into egg making sure to coat well both times and finally into the breadcrumb mix. Line the baking sheet up with as many as you can get on. Don't need to leave space, I put mine up close together. And bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. YUM  I make a quick dip for them using some mayonaise, mixed with a bit of lemon juice and some dried oregano and garlic powder or fresh minced garlic. ( I do love garlic).  This is also great for making baked onion rings too.

You are welcome. I love courgettes and can never have too many. Just wish my plants didn't get mildew every year.   You can also make chutneys and pickles with them. Brownies, muffins, etc Next to Onions they are my next fav vegetable. I even have a jam recipe somewhere using them.   :lol:

My OH makes a lovely courgette and cheese soup. Not massively healthy because of cheese but not too much cheese added. I make soup using roasted courgettes which give it a lovely flavour although after first try, I now don't use a lot of oil as spoilt flavour and very as you might expect oily!  :lol:
