How I got my children to eat courgette [smile]

[AmericanPastoral]

We made this frittata together yesterday. They ate it and LOVED it and they normally hate courgette. I didn't have feta so used cheddar, no ham, and it was delicious.

Mine will eat it when it's spiralised. Try won't touch it otherwise!

I haven't tried that - which spiralizer do you have? I recently bought this but must confes I haven't used it much - you have to use quite a lot of pressure and if the veg isn't in the right position it doesn't come out well. I'm wondering if I should invest in a proper spiralizer.

Chocolate courgette cake !!

Sounds intriguing - do you have a recipe Chickpea?

I like that receipe OP - will try that with my two veg dodgers.

I grate courgette and hide it in with mince for bolognaise or cottage pie.
I also put it into Fritters with sweet corn and finely chopped onion - DS1 occasionally decides he doesn't like the sweetcorn and picks it out but he never notices the (peeled) courgette
