Zucchini - Courgettes come in all shapes and sizes

I have been harvesting mostly courgettes aka Zucchini since my last Harvest Monday blog post, but I am pleased that they are all different in shapes, size and even colour  - makes for more variety and interesting eats.  

Nestling in the trug are Courgette Gold Rush F1 ; Courgette Tristar  and Courgette Squash Striato di Napoli  which  think is more marrow than squash; and Courgette Tondo di Piacenza.  I am also growing some patty pans and hope to share them with you next week.

I also harvested a good handful of French Beans Climbing Purple Cascade

We also harvested two potato plants, the yield of 7 potatoes was disappointing though, still enough for two meals and the ground looks good.

I am sharing this with  Harvest Monday hosted by Dave over Our Happy Acres.  

Tondo di Piacenza Zucchini Potato Frittata

This Zucchini Frittata is made with  Courgette Tondo di Piacenza - a round  globe variety from the garden plot.

You can see some  harvested Courgette Tondo di Piacenza  in the photograph below.  I used my mandolin to slice them thinly, so the finished Zucchini Frittata looked a little more impressive and pleasing to the eyes before it was sliced into triangles and shared. 

This may look like an ordinary Zucchini Frittata but it is very flavoursome, as it has been magically transformed by a generous sprinkling of Outback Spirit Tasmanian Pepper Salt that I got sent by fellow blogger Johanna who lives in Australian.  The Outback Spirit Tasmanian Peppercorn Salt really enhanced the Zucchini frittata slice making it super tasty. 

Oven Baked Lemon Zucchini and New Potato Salad

This is a simple oven baked potato salad making the most of home-grown zucchini. 

Zucchini aka Courgettes in the UK as you all know are pretty bland and that is the reason I doused these with some zingy lemony oil.
