aaarrrrghhhhhhhh not more chopped onions!!!!!! Eyes still recovering from doing the runner bean chutney........

Absolutely lovely this.... Courgette and basil soup... One of my students recommended it and I made it tonight YUM
Make your soup as normal, courgettes sauteed in butter, add a bit of flour as you're doing that..., cooked in stock. When you liquidise it, add a large handful of basil leaves. And cream at the end. Mmmmm

got loads of courgettes so am going to have a go at the soup, the fritters and the Tara chilli thing

OOOOoooooooooo those fritters are wonderful, Watson!!! ANd the recipe lady has such a calm, patient voice.....

I made courgette fritters the other day and they are finger lickin good

Today I made the recipe which gets rid of loads of courgettes in one go (which has to be a good thing) The one where you cook loads of thinly sliced courgettes in a big frying pan with a goodly amount of olive oil in the bottom. You fry into that 2 or 3 anchovy fillets til they disappear then add your tonnes of courgettes. Three crushed cloves of garlic are added and you cook the whole lot down on a very low heat. It thickens up and goes saucy so then you add about 50 g of parmesan cheese and then put the pasta on. By the time the pasta is cooked the courgettes in the oil have reduced to gloop. Strain the pasta and add the gloopy courgettes to the pasta and gently stir to combine and add loads of fresh basil and freshly ground black pepper

I added the gloopy courgettes but separated it from the oil slick left in the pan as I used too much oil

Have just read through this thread in a vain hope of finding the courgette and feta fritter recipe coz the girls have requested them for tea

I just love how we manage to create a sticky courgette thread and end up discussing porn...........oops sorry and now I've only got 5 smilies.......and no wibbling one and no blushing one, I just cna't cope ..thank heavens for the shocked smilie

last night I made Lillys oriental courgette recipe and it's been marinating overnight in the fridge

Bloody hell Lill!
That's GORGEOUS!!!!

We're off to the chinese cash and carry today just to stock up on sesame oil and soya sauce

so thanks Lill, that recipe is going in my 'absolutely favourite family recipes' book (which is dead posh cos it's for my girls to have when I snuff it)

Sooo glad you liked it Tara It's one of those recipes that doesn't sound very inspiring when you read it, but it's fab when you taste it

I'll have a go at that one anorl then My courgette choc cake turned out fandabby

well, the family are having spag bol so I thought I'd do meself that courgette pasta thingy of Wardy's

anyway, it's been cooking for a while now and is the colour and consistency of snot
so, before I shove this gloop onto my pasta....has anyone actually tasted this stuff?
is it nicer than it looks?

I did a version of this once methink Was ok, otherwise I'd remember I think

well, it tasted okay
I hid it under a layer of mozerella and cheddar and stuck it under the grill

tasty alright if a bit bland

mine wont bland, it was full of parmesan and garlic so anything but it will have had basil on it or flat leaf parsley too

bet it still looked like bogies

well you'd expect it to, it clearly stipulated bogies in the recipe. Did you follow it to the letter

The very idea
following a recipe to the letter...... shakes head.... wanders off in daze
