Glut of peppers and courgettes in fridge.......

[dandycandyjellybean]

....I always roast ...what else can I do?

Chuck in some tomatoes, garlic and onions and make a ratatouille, to either eat on its own or use as a pasta sauce?

Courgette soup is delicious. Fry one onion and two medium courgettes in olive oil and butter. Add one pint of veg stock. Bring to boil. Lower to a simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes.

Season and whizz with hand blender. At this stage you can also add some fresh herbs - basil works well.

julienne them all and stir fry. Add a poached egg and you have a lovely lunch.

Thinly slice and sautee with onions and garlic. Use with hummous and spinach in a sandwich.

fry them in a bit of olive oil, add some tomato paste and spices and stir into some cous cous, yum

you could fry them up with mushrooms if you have them. add a few tins of tomaotoes and some garlic and puree (or not) to make pasta sauce. add some cream if you like and maybe some basil. Freezes beautifully.
