Filled with some fried onion & tomato, then covered in grated cheese and grilled makes them pretty good eating. You can add bacon bits if not a vegetarian.
Yeah, I never liked them stuffed, even before I grew to detest them. I was making some little roll up things, wrapping them around ricotta and parmesan, with some sugo. Disaster and disgusting (apart from the filling).
they're really not. plus at this time of year, they can only be coming from somewhere environmentally abominable (like the sea of plastic), so really best avoided in all respects!
Yes, but almost all supermarket vegetables everywhere come from somewhere environmentally abominable place all year round, so that's not really a factor.
not all heated and under plastic and from widespread modern slavery though. but i have a particular bee in my bonnet about the sea of plastic plus am a smidge obsessive and will eat nowt but carrot and cabbage for 3 months if i have to, so probably best to ignore me!
i might have exaggerated slightly with the only carrot and cabbage. i eat plenty healthily, i just make some choices and exclude things that are out of season, because that's what i prefer to do. each to their own! i was just giving another reason why i don't eat courgettes, disgusting taste, texture, and risk of bitter squash syndrome aside.
😂 Never again, I tells ya. I don't like a lot of root vegetables either, so I do what I can with sourcing and grow some of my own (when Cymru's weather plays along 🙄 😁 )
I used to put them in roast vegetable lasagnes but then I realised I spent more time picking them out because they taste of precisely nothing, so I stopped. Never again 😂
i used to pop them through a spiraliser and fry them with garlic, and pretend they were pasta for a bit, kinda going with turning that taste precisely of nothing into a feature.

I love courgettes but I respect those who do not. The thing is, once thinly sliced, battered and fried to me they are delicious *but* I have successfully turned one of the healthy things into a tasty thing and then kid myself it is ‘one of my five a day’!
And they travel in packs, courgette feast or famine. (Ok, less so if you’re not growing them). But ultimately, they’re only fibrous water with an evanescent taste.
Don't even talk to me about growing them. I don't do that any more, after a couple of years in France where you literally couldn't give them away, even to tourists 😂 They're not even fibrous enough though. Slice them a nanometre too thin and they liquify. Rubbish.

Courgettes are the bananas of the vegetable world in my eyes - filler only but ultimately tasteless.
