Kitchen Crafting

As I posted on Friday we have demolition work going on in the kitchen and there is less kitchen left now than on the photo, but believe it or not that is progress. So whilst on the subjects of kitchens I thought I would do a quick cookery post. We have a glut of courgettes at the moment which I love but it is difficult finding different ways to use them as they don't freeze well. If you have any new ideas please let me know.

short crust pastry






Line quiche tin. I don't pre bake the pastry case.






Grate courgettes, finely chop onion and garlic. Lightly beat eggs with 100ml milk(approx)





Gently fry courgettes,onions and garlic for a couple of minutes to soften. Then tip into pastry case add salt and pepper. Pour over egg mixture and cook for 25 mins until set.



Voila!

I'll definately try that receipe. The woodcutter paid £3.00 for a quiche at the food fair( local food event) and it was so salty.

WE grow corgettes, I can just eat bowls of them. Slice them , put in a bowl with a knob of better, into the microwave for 2 min and voila delicious food to eat while standing at the microwave!!!

[Julie]

[stephanie s]

before they even become vegetables, pick the blossom off and stuff them with... whatever?

Move over Nigella. Lovely recipe and photos, Wendy.

if your courgette glut is combined with a spinach explosion, as ours was one year - then make spinach and courgette soup. Make it exactly as you would imagine and serve hot with cream swirled in or cold for a sophisticated treat. Wonderful

oh - I just remembered Martha slices them lengthways with a potato peeler and lightly fries them with butter and garlic - then tosses the long strips into cooked pasta - maybe this is a recipe she gleaned from one of our chefs - Jamie, Nigel, Nigella??? don't know - it's sensational.

anybody out there got any recipes for round courgettes, we,ve got loads of them but finding ways of cooking them is becoming fruitless.

I am extremely fond of reading and whenever I got interested in some book, I opened a http://www.pdfqueen.com books search engine, found the book I needed and downloaded it. But as it turned out, in the journals and articles one can sometimes find the info he/she failed to find in the book. Thus can say that from time to time such articles as yours are a very pleasant surprise for me!

If your zucchini surplus combined with spinach explosion, like ours, had one year - something to do with spinach and zucchini soup. To do so, as you can imagine, and serve hot with cream swirled in the cold or for the treatment of complicated.
