The rain from the skies came pouring down this weekend, and most people looked up at the sky as if they had forgotten what rain looked like?! It was kind of funny, well I thought it was.
Anyway, here is a link to some of my homemade jams, chutneys and preserves. The reason I am sharing the link is to highlight how surprised I am at myself in that I have never blogged a Zucchini - Courgette Chutney recipe, considering its the one vegetable I grow every year.
I have also bookmarked these from Pam Cobin Spicy Courgette Chutney and Courgette Jam. I would have made these too, but I am running out of jars. By the way, do you have a courgette chutney recipe to share?
My Harvest Monday blog post this week is not that dissimilar to last weeks, as I have more beans to share of the green and purple variety.
However this week, I also have some green and gold courgettes.
Every single day, I have been coming back into the kitchen with a courgette.
I was thinking about booking a day of as annual leave/vacation from work so that I could use up these courgettes, but D had decided that with the school summer holidays starting this week, that it wasn't worth going out anywhere as we would probably be stuck in traffic and we should both stay home and catch up on things. This was fine with me, he mowed the front of the garden, as I made the most of these courgettes and much more. I know - we lead such exciting lives!
Here are some jars of homemade Courgette and Apricot Chutney.
I also made a vegan Lemon and Courgette Cake. See I told you that I make the most of my violas to garnish cakes.
Please do come back next week when I will show off some of my massive marrows, one of which was used to make this Marrow and Fenugreek Curry. It was served it with Courgette Rice.
I am sharing this post with Harvest Monday is hosted by Dave over Our Happy Acres.
The first of many homegrown marrows and because the accepted stereotype of South Asian girls is that 'we' all make a mean curry, I thought I would not disappoint. But the truth is, everyone these days claims to make an awesome 'curry'. I am honestly not one of those people.
I have made a vegan Marrow Curry with Chickpeas in this past, but this one is rich and buttery, that even my mother would approve.
I love fenugreek and when I saw it being sold at the market, I could not resist its distinct fragrant. I am pleased I picked it up as it enhanced the plainness of the marrow curry.
I am sharing this with The Veg Hog who is hosting #EatYourGreens Vegetarian and Vegan Blog challenge this month, please do join in there is plenty of time. For those of you who have not participated before, please Follow this link on how to join in.
