It isn't very big but it's bigger than a match. There are two more tiny ones left on the plant but I think it's too late now for them to grow any bigger. I had four plants in total, this one was planted later than the others.
It's amazing how many different recipes there are for doing things with courgettes. I think I've tried most of them, some are good, some are very good and some I won't bother to make again next year.
@g3xbm@beryl I’m not a big fan of chutney or pickles, that’s more Chris’ area - he’s made green tomato chutney and he’s pickled some of the cucumber glut - I prefer to eat courgettes in ratatouille, pasta bake, lasagne, curry, cake, and soda bread, or just sautéed with onion and garlic, all of which are wonderful. I tried quiche but it wasn’t very successful, too runny.
I would think they are better smaller…I have hardly ever eaten a courgette or anything that they are in but good to hear that you can grow them so well & make delicious chutneys & the like.
We call them zucchini over here and they are super versatile. I have a recipe for zucchini chocolate cake which is delicious. I'm not an expert but I think to use them in something like quiche you need to squeeze the excess water out or something.
