Was just about to make courgette bread, which actually sounded exactly like a carrot cake recipe, sweet with cinamon etc, which I didn't fancy, so I've frozen the courgette to make something another time, but I'd be really grateful for any ideas.
I always make courgette cake - Delia's carrot cake with courgettes instead of carrot - with my glut, but don't know if it would work with frozen ones. Do they freeze ok?
sieve flour into a bowl whisk 2 eggs into another bowl, salt and pepper and add plenty of freshly grated parmesan (optional but makes a huge differnce), put 3 or 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan, heat to fry
slice courgettes (either way) put each slice in the flour bowl then the egg mixture bowl then into the pan
courgettes 0 grated 0 put 1/4 aside for garnishing arborio or carnaroli rice a lemon grate lemon zest olive oil - tablespoon freshly grated parmesan very finley chopped onion good vegetable stock (enought to make risotto - see the rice pack for details as they can differ)
soften the onions - do not brown them add the rice and coat in the oil - cook for a minute or two start adding the stock as per instructions to make the risotto (they vary) about half way through cooking time, add 3/4 of the grated courgettes, the grated zest of 2 lemons and the juice of one or two lemons (according to tast) when the rice is cooked, add plenty of parmesan and stir. cover and let stand for 3-5 mins
serve and garnish with the remaining grated courgette.
BONUS all the little people i've cooked this for, love it!
