Ginormous courgette

Postby JanB » 26 Jul 2018, 19:54

I have today, been given 3 massive cucumbers and three rather large courgettes, with one being almost marrow size.

Normally, I'd slice them thinly and fry in oil and garlic, but this is a meal in itself.

Ideas for me please, as well as cucumber soup. We really cant eat that many :roll: :lol: The water content is a little too much for Gladys :cry: :oops:

Wouldn't have a clue on cucumber soup, something like gazpacho with lots of cucumber?
Or google, ditto the courgette, I think people with a glut make pickle.
Me, I'd politely say thank you, then chuck them out, too much faff and other ingredients :)

Courgettes, veg of the Devil.

Make them into Voodoo dolls of your least favourite neighbours (you know who) and stick pins in them, then burn them on a hot fire.

Whatever you do, do NOT eat them.

I've got couscous, yellow and red pepper. Will add onions, tomato, garlic, oil.

If it's nasty, we'll have pizza :lol: :lol: And I'm not a pizza lover 8-)

Basically yes Kaz.

We went to Ourique to pay Heldar, then went to get the stuff for putting the tiles down :Hi: :Hi: :Hi: :Hi:

Sadly, we got Mitched - and have only got back.

Not a hope of me doing all the stuff, so we're having pizza :roll: :lol: :lol:

And rather lush they were too :shock:

I haven't eaten a pizza for about 20 years, but bought these as a stop-gap, for when we're both jiggered with all the work.
