Cut into strips, marinated in Lemon infused olive oil and charred on the bbq is how we have it.

I like to use them raw in salads.You can 'peel' the whole zucchini lengthways into long strips, its nice just tossed together with Olive oil/lemon/salt & pepper. Add carrot strips as well and freshly chopped parsley & basil.

I grate them into rissoles. The courgettes keep them moist, and you're getting another vegetable. Also good in mince sauces like spaghetti bolognaise.

I pan fry in butter with mushrooms, onions and sometimes tomatoes. Courgette cake is lovely too.

I did some stuffed courgettes last Xmas Day and they were really yum.If anyone's wanting the recipe, I may be able to dig it out and post it on here (if I remember rightly, it came from one of my Foodtown magazines).

I always par boil zucchini before frying them in garlic, olive oil and some mixed herbs - if they're not par boiled first I think they can sometimes have a slightly bit aftertaste.I added one today to my roasted summer vegetable salad and they are good because they're very well cooked but I grate them into frittata, self crusting quiche and salads as well.

red onion grated zuchinni grated carrot with a balsamic vinegar is lovey I used to take it to work for lunch. But zuchinni slice is great and keeps for a few days too.

Here you go . hope you enjoy!
STUFFED COURGETTES 4 courgettes 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 onion, peeled and finely diced 1 teaspoon crushed garlic 1/4 cup pinenuts 1 roasted red capsicum, deseeded and diced 6 basil leaves, shredded 2 cups fresh white breadcrumbs 1 egg, beaten salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 1 cup chicken stock 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan slivers of parmesan, basil leaves to garnish (optional)
Preheat oven to 180C.Cut the courgettes in half lengthways and scoop out and reserve the seeded flesh. Heat the oil in a frying pan and saute the onion, garlic, pinenuts and courgette flesh until soft and fragrant. In a large bowl, combine the onion mix, roasted capsicum, basil leaves, breadcrumbs and egg and mix to a soft stuffing.Season well with the salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.Fill the courgette cavities with the stuffing. Pour the chicken stock into a shallow, ovenproof dish and arrange the courgettes in a single layer on top. Sprinkle over the parmesan and cover the dish with foil.Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for a further 10 minutes or until the stuffing is golden and the cheese has melted.Garnish with slivers of parmesan and basil leaves, if using. Serves 4 - 6 as side dish.
