Chocolate and Zucchini cake. (I kid you not... . very yummy, and the kids would never know it was there). Grate it into quiches, grate and squeeze and use as a base for fritters. Zucchini relish.

Rachael Ray's programme today used grated courgette's and a couple of eggs and a little flour to make fritters. . she then topped them with pizza type toppings and some grated cheese, under the grill, and the result was vegetable 'pizza's' that she said kids would love. They can also be used as some of the veges in chow chow, piccalilli and other mustard pickles. . Add about a cup full of grated courgette's to a bran muffin recipe for extra goodness and lovely moist muffins. . a little extra flour and baking powder may be needed. . these can be frozen too.

For the freezer I fry up some onion then add chopped zucchini and skinned chopped tomato and simmer for ten minutes. Once cool it gets bagged up in portion sizes and frozen. Great for pasta, a side vege for chops & steaks, added as a layer in spag bol or lasagne etc...
