  • This is my take on a recipe for courgette fritters that seems to be everywhere online*

    * Normally, I'd link a source but not this time because it's everywhere, and mostly rather clickbaity and content-farmy.
    Ingredients:
    500g courgettes (zucchini) grated
    100g rolled oats
    150g grated cheddar or other hard cheese
    75g self-raising flour
    2 eggs
    1 medium onion
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon marjoram (or oregano, or other herbs of your choice)
    Optionally:
    tomatoes, peppers, chilli flakes, smoked paprika
    Other options to think about - not featured in this video but would certainly be good in this (not all of these at once):
    chopped ham
    chorizo or salami
    olives or capers
    anchovies or smoked mackerel
    sundried tomatoes or fire roasted peppers
    chives or spring onions
    sliced pickled jalapeños
    a spoonful of chutney or piccalilli

    I used to hate zucchini (courgette), but I came around to it after running across some preparations that made it utterly delicious. This seems to very much be one I'd like to try! Also, if your Cheddar is making scrapy sounds on the grater, it must be very nicely aged to have those calcium lactate (and maybe also tyrosine) crystals, something I really love to have in my Cheddars.

    @xxPenjoxx 10 місяців тому +3

    A tip for grating is to turn the box grater down flat with the intended grate side on the top, place it on a tray if you're concerned about courgettes piling out of it. I find the pushing cut is easier on your wrist than holding at an angle and downward. Really nice use of lots of courgette, they look like they would freeze well for a quick reheated breakfast.

    Having had similar issues with courgette quantities, I've started using them as sauce thickeners - if you grate them into things like bolognese sauce, then leave them to cook slowly for a few hours, they dissolve into the sauce and just richen it a bit, sort of like grating carrots in.

    Tin openers tend to be a regular thing that is mentioned on this channel but my mind was recently blown that the Smooth Edge Tin Can Opener exists.

Thought it might be something you could be interested in.

    There are so many delicious ways to cook zucchini. But if you feel like you have had an overdose and need a timeout from zucchini, you can season them (italian herb blend with garlic) grill them, and stuff them in a jar with olive oil. Makes a nice antipasti for storage.
    To use up a courgette you forgot harvest until it grew oversized (XXL zucchini)do this: Stuff the courgette with sauce bolognese and cheese. Bake it in the oven like a casserole. Don´t eat the skin of the big ones. It turrns hard, like some pumpkins.

    I use grated courgette sometimes for a soup, however when I grate mine the kitchen looks like I shredded it with TNT... how did yours not go absolutely everywhere??? 😂
    I may be getting more courgettes from my Mum's garden this week, so think I'll add some oats and cheese to the shopping list and give these a try - they look lovely!
