I dehydrate them, powder them in a coffee grinder and store the powder in a jar to add flavour and thicken soups etc. If you vacuum seal the jar they can last until next year's glut. You can fit several in a pint jar!

I love pickled zucchini! I cute them lengthwise in wedges, stuff them into jars with spices and fill it up with brine. My favorite combination of spices is coriander seeds, mustard seeds, a piece of garlic, a piece of lemon peel and a small chili.

I roast mine in 2cm cubes with a little olive oil, sea salt and pepper until they’re all caramelised and so sweet and either eat them straight away, sometimes quite a bit disappears while I’m dishing up, or I freeze it and add to pasta sauces and casseroles in winter. I make my pasta sauce like this with roast zucchini, red peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic and eggplant all together and purée it all and can it. They do take a while to roast to this stage but so worth it! My husband also makes a dish with by pan frying zucchini in diagonal strips then caramelising in sweet chilli sauce and throwing in prawns when it’s almost done. Mixed through spaghetti with a bit of Parmesan cheese or on a pizza it’s AMAZING! I’m in the depths of winter here in New Zealand and really missing my zucchini’s. Can’t wait for spring so I can plant way too many zucchini’s again haha😁

I also have a good recipe for chocolate courgette cake and found a great recipe for courgette and ginger jam! Well worth a try jam makers out there.

My glut has started although we have a lull in the proceedings thank goodness. They seem to be all the yellow ones at the moment. A lot of these recipes will be good when my patty pan summer squash get going (3 different types what was I thinking!! LOL) My mum used to make an amazing courgette terrine when we had summer family gatherings. I recently found her old recipe card when clearing put a box of stuff from their house I had forgotten about. Very excited to give that a go again. It is a bit involved and uses a Bain Marie to cook it in the oven but it was the most requested summer family gathering dish. Really unusual and tasty. Someone on Instagram posted a recipe last year for Courgette brownies, they are vegan and easy to make and so delicious. I also roast chunks or courgette with garlic, Peppers onion and olive oil salt and pepper, then portion this up and freeze so in the winter I have roasted veg for all sorts of recipes from lasagna to soup to my favourite sausage caponata style stew

Fantastic ideas, thanks. I like a nice, simple courgette salad. Grate your courgette and season with lemon juice, the zest of a lemon, salt, a pinch of hilli flakes or half a fresh chilli, and some well chopped mint. Serve as a nice side or as a part of a bigger salad. They also keep veggie burgers you might make with beans and grains nice and moist on the inside.

Don't forget Zapple Pie!!! Peel the zucchini, halve it lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and then slice it thin like you would apples. Pick your favorite apple pie recipe and just use the zucchini slices instead. I add a bit of lime juice to lend some tartness, but that's optional. My former neighbor Jodie taught me this one. And at the far end of the season, I always let a few grow absolutely enormous. Like small watermelons. I pick a couple just when the color starts to fade toward yellow and use them as a Halloween decoration. You can carve them like a pumpkin and stake them vertically in the yard, or at the top of a "pumpkin totem pole". I sometimes leave the last one on the vine for seeds, but only when I didn't have other similar squash growing nearby. A funky hybrid zucchini is not high on my list...

If anyone is trying to save on energy bills or time, please note that you can microwave courgette to get a very similar effect to steaming, or use an air fryer for a quick roasted effect. I chop them lengthwise into quarters, add a little garlic salt (or plain salt if you prefer) and pepper to the fleshy innards (no extra water or oil required, although I do add a little spray oil in the air fryer to prevent sticking). Cook them face up in the microwave for 2-3 minutes and voila! Healthy side dish sorted. I sometimes add some paprika, cheese and tuna on top to turn it into the main part of the meal. I'm sure lots of other toppings would work but that's my favourite one. :)

Massive zucchini, the kind you want to put a baby bonnet on and place on an unsuspecting doorstep, is delicious when sliced lengthwise, seeds removed and brushed with olive oil. Fill it with sliced tomatoes and frozen Italian meatballs from Walmart. Season with seasoning salt, powdered onion and or garlic and Italian seasoning or herbs of your choice. Cook until done, sprinkle with cheese, cook a little bit more and serve with rice. Thank you everybody for such good ideas!

We cut slice them some 1inch thick some 1/2 inch think freeze on a tray the thin ones fry really well if added to a hot pan direct from freezer the thick ones get added to casserole dishes in winter, we also spiralize then and use instead of spaghetti, or we dehydrate them to add to dishes in the winter, we never have to many but we do share and swop with neighbours.

Cut the courgette into 2 or 3 pieces and quarter them so you have triangular batons. (With large courgettes you can cut them into 6 or 8 instead of quartering them). You can salt them and leave them to give out some of their water if you have time, but not essential. Brown them in batches in a little oil on both uncut sides. Set them aside, add some olive oil to the pan and fry some chopped garlic and chilli for a minute. Replace the courgettes, season with black pepper and add a good dash of balsamic vinegar. I like to let a few handfuls of spinach wilt in it if I have some. Can be eaten hot, warm or cold.

I make zucchini soup. Cook 2 pounds (900 gr.) cut up zucchini in a couple cups of water with 2 bouillon cubes, a small amount of chopped onion, half a teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook until very soft. Let the mixture cool enough that you can blend it to a smooth puree. Make a roux from 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons flour and pour the puree mixture in, stirring constantly. When thickened a little, check for seasoning and decide if it is thin enough. Then add ½ cup heavy cream. It can be served warm or cold. Sometimes I use 3 bouillon cubes.

Wow! Some excellent inspiration. With way too many zucchini (US) and not great luck growing eggplant, I often use zucchini as a base for an actual moussaka, which I dearly love. The little cups look like a wonderful alternatives for small portions. I also like to make zucchini bread, which is more like a coffee cake and probably similar to those muffins, but very much zucchini forward. Fully cooked and wrapped tightly, it freezes well, and thaws out beautifully for an easy contribution to the covered dish dinners that are so much a part of southern US social life, or even a nice hostess gift in the winter when they are a welcome reminder of summer.

I would love to have the courgette wine recipe if possible please. I don’t see it listed or on Erica’s channel. Thank you.

Squash wine???? Never gave that a thought before. Looks like I got a new hobby. Thank you so much for the information. It’s rare that someone actually teaches me something new!!

I’ve actually canned them in tomato sauce and I was really surprised to find they do not turn to complete mush. Of course I do all the other stuff as well as dehydrate. I think it might be muffins tonight.

I've actually seen them canned like that at the grocery store, although home grown was no doubt much better.

My friend use to make a mac & cheese with the small cubes. Just adding flour to thicken it. It was wonderful. Ill do some experimenting, I think. 😆

Due to various circumstances (including a broken arm) I was very late sowing this year. My courgette leaves are now really starting to spread out, but it's probably another month or so before fruiting. Obviously I'll know at the end of the season, but direct sowing at the beginning of June might just work. All looks good so far.

We love them sliced about 1 cm thick. Then place them on kitchen paper and under kitchen paper and squash them with the end of a rolling pin until a lot of the liquid is out. Then salt a little and fry in a frying pan with a little oil. We call them ‘Courgettes pretending to be Chips!’

To me, there's no better way to eat zucchini than grilled, just as your friend described. But with a glut, you definitely have to change things up, and I also like to dice them to add to marinara, spaghetti sauce, or salsa, or roast them with some asparagus. Growing up, my favorite was Mom's fried summer squash. Bread it with medium coarse yellow corn meal for best results, or truest to the Southern US tradition anyway.

Liz, I really like the sound of your microphone even on a windy day. Can you please let me know where you buy it from, as I also want one. Thank you 🙏

When I started out making videos I used a lapel mic (this exact make amzn.to/3Kc4Dnv) and nowadays I mostly use a Rode mic (this one amzn.to/3rxK8Lw). I recommend that you use a less expensive microphone while you are establishing your channel - I didn't buy equipment for my videos until I was earning enough money, through the videos, to pay for it. For the sake of transparency, both the links I've included are affiliate links and I may earn a small commission if you purchase using my links, but it will not cost you anything extra.
