Is there anything in this wide wonderful world of ours that you can do to a courgette to make it good to eat?

I mean, really?

I've got one and a half surplus courgettes (big ones) after making a minestrone soup. Please tell me there's something good I can make with them rather than consigning to the compost heap at the end of the week when they've gone wrinkly.

Ottolenghi’s turkey and courgette burgers.

grated courgette and carrot is a surprisingly delicious salad on its own or with a splash of lemon juice.

I love courgettes! I just cut into Alice's or strips season and use spray oil and out in oven for 20 mins.... delicious

That would be slices...not alices

Slice half centimetre thick, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic salt.
Really hot grill until browned

Grate and cook down in frying pan, having fried off some bacon lardons first, add crushed garlic

Then add a few tablespoons cream or creme fraiche and done pasta water plus lashings of grated Parmesan and black pepper, makes fab pasta sauce

shaved courgette salad with lemon parmesan and herbs

Use instead of an aubergine - moussaka, brinjal bhaji etc

How about "courgetti" ? Spiralize & use like spaghetti.

I feel sorry for people who don't like courgettes. They are my favourite vegetable. Roasted or fried til brown are amazing. They can be a little bitter if not brown.

Great ideas here about grating or battering and frying.

These courgette fritters are delicious

me too jam they are so versatile and pretty unoffensive.
fennel on the other hand

It's possible to grate them, and hide in tomato sauce, or a sort of bolognaise sauce.

Dont laugh at me on this one, courgette and potato soup gets eaten by my courgette hating kids.

I chop up and fry in olive oil, garlic, mixed herbs, salt and pepper. Quick and easy. Or just chop up and freeze for now.

Cut into halves, through the middle then into chunks. Fry on long, cut side until blackened around the edges. Put in a shallow dish, cut side down and pour on cheese sauce until almost covered. Smother in grated cheese and bake until bubbly and golden brown.
It's my friend's recipe. I don't like courgettes, except like this.

I like courgette never knew there were so many different ideas tho I am going to try some of these! Thanks all!

I dip slices of courgette in batter and deep fry (along with battered onion/pepper chunks).
Serve on rice with sweet and sour sauce poured over. The fried veg "nuggets" freeze really well and reat in the oven.
Also love a courgette, pea, feta and mint quiche.
And roasted veg couscous (just roast in the oven alongside peppers/onions/baby tomatoes with a bit of sweet chilli sauce drizzled over).
Salmon and courgette spaghetti (Hello fresh) is absolutely gorgeous.
