Dh reckons I should be grateful that we have such a bounty. I got a bit muddled with my seedlings and one of my plants I thought would be a squash turned out to be a courgette plant. It turns out that this year two courgette plants is too much for the ordinary family.
So I have umpty million courgettes and 3 giant marrows. Two of which are as big as my upper legs. I know that I'm going to have to start sticking them on a table outside the house soon and offering them to the neighbours for free but experience tells me they will be in similar positions and nobody will want them.
So, marrow and courgette recipes......
Our recipe for tonight is lentil stuffed marrow.
Cook some red lentils. Soften onion, garlic and red pepper in another pan. Then add tomatoes and herbs and simmer until it drys out a bit. Mix lentils and veg together.
Remove seeds from marrow. Bake for half an hour. Stuff with veg. Top with cheese and basil. Oven for 15 minutes or so.
That will feed us for two meals. (Can I freeze half?)
Any more suggestions please? Especially ones where I can freeze half of it
