did you mean corgettes by chance, if so my fav is to just slice thinly and fry in butter with a little crushed garlic.

chop courgettes, onion and add a tin of tomatoes, tomatoe paste, salt pepper, mushrooms and water. Simmer for 45 mins. mmMmm You can add frozen corn, mushrooms and peas at the end. Add anything you like, Great with mashed spud or pasta with grated cheese over the top when you serve up!

I make soup and freeze from all the overgrown ones.just boil with shin,add garlic, stock or not, heaps of oreganum or fresh basil, liquidize. Or add any other vegie to the concoction. Nice low calorie filler.

I'm sorry, but when I read the title I immediately thought of a courgette with Tourette's syndrome lol - barking and swearing at the other courgettes :D
BTW It took me a long time to be able to eat a courgette after leaving home as dad grew them and when they were in season we had to have courgettes with EVERY meal, Even now I don't like them if they have a strong 'courgetty' taste like home grown ones do.

This is my favourite way to use them at the moment too. I have been using fresh (skinned) tomatoes as they are plentiful right now. I use red onion and garlic and add capsicum also (not green though cause I can't stand green capsicum) and the secret is to add 1/2 - 1 tsp of sugar. I usually serve it as a side dish and it is also nice warmed on toast with grated cheese the next day.

Stuff them with a spicy mince and cheese mix, bake until golden and zucchini are soft.
125g butter 1 c brown sugar 1/2 c white sugar 3 eggs 2 1/2 c flour 1/2 c yogurt 1/2 c cocoa 2 t baking soda 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp mixed spice 1/2 t salt 1 t vanilla essence 3 cups (350g) grated zucchini/or courgette 1/2-1 c chocolate pieces (optional)
Line 25 cm square tin. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time with a spoonful of flour mixture. Add vanilla and yogurt and stir well. Sift in dry ingredients and stir in zucchini. Pour into tin, and sprinkle with chocolate pieces if desired. Bake at 170C for 45 minutes
Preheat oven to 170C. Grease and line a 30 x 20cm lamington pan. Beat the eggs in a large bowl until combined. Add the flour and beat until smooth, then add zucchini, onion, bacon, cheese and oil and stir to combine. Pour into the prepared pan and bake in oven for 30 minutes or until cooked through.

This has been a favourite this summer I make one on a sunday and hubby takes a slice for lunch most days, I also make them in the texas muffin tins for visitors and serve with salad and relish...I actually found the old australian womens weekly cookbook for the 80's or 90's and the recipe was in there - but was given this years ago and have passed on to lots of people, worth a try. Sadly my beans and zuchinnis are coming to an end.

I have not made it at all this summer! I usually do. It is such a simple and easy one to do. I usually just serve it with salad. Our beans and zucchinis are also slowing down now. Our scallopinis are still producing well.

God bless Martha Stewart - this recipe from her website is delicious:
Zucchini Fritters
1 pound (about 2 medium) zucchini 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest (1 lemon) plus 1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges (optional) 10 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley, stems removed and leaves finely chopped, plus more sprigs for garnish (optional) 1 medium clove garlic, peeled and minced 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil Directions 1.Using the large holes of a box grater, grate zucchini into a medium bowl. Add the salt, lemon zest, chopped parsley, garlic, pepper, and eggs. Mix well to combine. Slowly add flour, stirring so no lumps form. 2.Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until the oil sizzles when you drop a small amount of zucchini mixture into the pan. Carefully drop about 2 tablespoons zucchini mixture into pan; repeat, spacing fritters a few inches apart. 3.Cook fritters until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Lower heat to medium. Turn fritters, and continue cooking until golden, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer fritters to a plate; set aside in a warm place. Cook remaining zucchini mixture, adding more oil to pan if necessary. Garnish with parsley sprigs and lemon wedges, if desired; serve.

can the choc cake be cooked as muffins instead?
