Courgettes..?

[Columbo]

I like nearly all foods, hell I've eaten things a dog would turn down and enjoyed it.!

However I'm seriously at a loss with Courgettes. They taste of almost nothing, go horrible and slimy when cooked and are inedible when raw.

I made a tomato and courgette soup a few night nights ago as a last attempt at liking them. The soup was ruined by the sodding things.

Am I doing it wrong or should I finally kick the things into touch and just accept they are the food of Satan?

There maybe life in the old Courgettes yet looking at some of the above advice.

I do really hate admitting defeat as well, I have to not like something about 20 times before I put it on the hit list.

Will buy me some more in the week and see what I can rustle up.!

For a quick meal I fry up some onions, red pepper and courgette with cubes of ham, and add pesto, pasta and creme fraiche. Delicious!

Ya know I did almost exactly that last week, difference was that I added some wild mushrooms, 1 medium chilli, smoked ham and minus the pesto.

Must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it and so did the Mrs.!

slice lengthways really really thin, thinner than you would beef for carpaccio. I use a potato peeler to do it. scrunch them up so they are not flat, add salt and lemon juice. Leave to marinade for ~20 mins. Om nom nom courgette salad

Good shout, liking the sound of that. Will be on the menu at some point this week.
