I usually fry the slices in olive oil with garlic but that's getting boring now.

Or slice & fry in butter some button mushrooms and add to your usual. Or fry some cubed streaky bacon and add. Just a variation on the usual really - but nice with it. My courgettes are next to the potatoes Itsybitsy Back to top kated Joined: 01 Nov 2006 Posts: 1844 Location: norfolk Posted: Fri Jul 06, 2007 1:43 pm    Post subject: Thanks for that Itsy - sorry about your flooding, at least your spuds don't have blight Back to top mojo Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 10482 Location: GLENAY north deux sevre FRANCE Posted: Fri Jul 06, 2007 2:27 pm    Post subject: courrgys .....use as marrows or squashes but smaller .......stuff them/ chop in tiny cubes and make a french salad dressing/ boil and layer with potatoes etc in a fish pie /soup them/make chutney(add a good pinch of ginger to add zest)/fry them and cook on a bbq even make veg smoothies with them Back to top kated Joined: 01 Nov 2006 Posts: 1844 Location: norfolk Posted: Fri Jul 06, 2007 4:40 pm    Post subject: Thanks for that Mojo - I'd never thought of making veggie smoothies.
