Cradling Monster Marrows and Zucchini
From my garden is this rather large courgette aka zucchini, its much bigger than the last one. I did not cook with it, it was too big for us to consume, so I bestowed it upon my sister-in-law who would probably make some kind of curry with it or perhaps even Pakoras.
And a lovely marrow, that will some time this week be cooked into something delicious I hope. So as always if you have any lovely vegetarian recipes making the most of marrow, please do let me know. And Mark and Chandra if either of you are reading this, the green nail vanish is really a coincidence. I had a weekend off from cooking, and like a girly squirly decided to paint my nails.
Finally here are the only two golden courgettes that were harvested some time last week, but I didn't get round to sharing with Harvest Monday, so thought I would do so today.
I am sharing this small harvest with Daphne Dandelions for Harvest Monday.

Thank you Fran. I will bookmark it for next year, but who knows I may still even make it this year, I will let you know if I do.
DeleteYummmm - pakoras. Haven't made those in a long time. I've mainly used cauliflower, onion, spinach, etc., in them & never thought to use zucchini. If I ever have that zucchini glut that many people talk about, I must keep that in mind!
ReplyDeleteMargaret, they are delicious - I totally recommend.
DeleteI used a huge one last year to grate up and freeze for soups and bread. They are a challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks Daphne.
DeleteThat is HUGE! You could make the biggest ratatouille on the planet! My courgettes are just coming to an end now.....so sad!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate, I am not a big fan of ratatouille. always found the veg over cooked. I will be in the garden tomorrow, to see if i have any more monster marrows, I have barely had any courgettes due to being a very bad gardener. Next year I hope to be better and more organised.
DeleteNice marrow! I've made marrow and ginger jam before too. The recipe also had dried apricot. Haven't made it for a few years but I remember it being rather tasty and the marrow goes translucent.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lou. I will keep it in mind for next year.
