There are so many ways to prepare and cook a courgette aka zucchini but here are just a few you may not have thought of.
Grate it into porridge:
Grate 1/3 courgette and add to the pan along with some oats and about 200ml water. Cook on medium heat until soft and fluffy. I usually add about 1/3 courgette to 50g porridge as to not over power the taste. Adding some apple and sugar makes it delicious.
Grate it to form a sauce:
Grate the whole courgette and add to a pan along with some water, tomato purée, herbs and spices. Cook until a thick sauce forms and add to pasta.
Warm courgette tagliatelle:
Using a peeler form long strips of courgette, peel over and over. Then add to a pan along with some water and stir fry until soft. Serve with a sauce or on toast or with pasta or on a rice cake.
Baked:
Place the courgette whole or sliced in half horizontally into the oven and bake for 45 mins on 200 degrees Celsius. Serve with baked sweet potatoes (baked at the same time) lettuce and salsa. Or top with salsa and rice.
Courgette sticks with houmous:
Simply chop into sticks like carrot sticks and serve with hummus or a tahini dip (tahini mixed with water).
I hope this has given you some interesting easy ideas on how to use courgette. Let me know in the comments if this was helpful.
Have a great day.
