Zucchini/Courgette

Honestly, I was never a big fan of zucchini. I find it a bit bland and there are so many other vegetables which have more taste – so why zucchini? Well – I have had to revise my stand a bit. When my daughter decided to grow a few Zucchini plants in the garden …we were about to drown in Zucchinis. So I had to come up with uses for this otherwise overlooked vegetable. And I must admit – it taught me a thing or two. As the zucchinis grew into our lives, we grew into loving zucchinis. I have made pancakes, cakes, bread, stews, filled zucchinis and more. Many times with chopped tomatoes, basil, garlic and a bit of red onion. It is absolutely delicious. And it is ok, if it has turned a bit soft as I always cook it in some form. If they are super fresh and crisp, they can be eaten raw and used as cucumbers. They are in fact very tasty!
