I am now a courgette convert and really love the yellow ones, far better than the green you only get in supermarkets.

Really nice gently fried in extra virgin oil on top of char grilled rustic bread.



You can tell the seedlings have just surfaced  

[DD.]

I've split this off the 3 year old post you resurrected to give you your own thread.

I think you're a little early with them, especially up there. I won't be sowing mine down here until towards the end of the month. You dare not put them outside until all danger of frost is past.

I find that the yellow courgettes have a tougher outer skin ! !       Personal preference.     Cheers,     Tony.

hmmm is it just me that finds corgettes watery and tastless? however ive only ever had them roasted!

[gazza975526570]

I like them but struggle to think of what to use them in (they are a watery veg though)

Tend to either slice them into curries or stir fry's

[mumofstig]

roasted? why on earth would you roast them?  :blink:

Fried in a little oil, with a little garlic then sprinkled with some parmesan mmmmmm

Loads more ways to cook'em in the cooking section matt

I guess you'll be in the minority there Matt -- learn to cook freshly picked ones and you will be converted  

Gazza, check out the courgette recipes in the Recipes button at the top of the page, for inspiraton ahead of the time
