hehe 
In meat dishes, like lasagne In pasta dishes or rice dishes - ie a creamy chicken and mushroom sauce with courgettes. or butter chicken with carrot, courgette and mushrooms. They are so versatile, you can use them in most things! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Or just steamed with carrots and a tiny wee bit of butter and salt, mmm. ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

We cut them so they are long and BBQ them. And the above as other people have said. Grating them and putting them in stuff like mince. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

they are great in stirfries, and yum with tomato and cheese. make a great base for vege lasagne
as long as they aren't over cooked, they can be a bit soggy. yummie vegetable can eat them raw with humus or dip too. |

We have some blade steak out for dinner, I was going to casserole it with carrots and courgettes.... do I just chuck them in from the start or only towards the end so they don't get overdone? ------------- |

Are you using a crock pot? I chuck the courgettes in with everything else at the beginning but if you want them less mushy you could add them later. I find Maya eats them better if they have been over cooked as the flavour is more bland. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

You can throw in corgettes with your roast vegies too. Good! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Oh yeah, and I haven't done this for ages, but when Han was younger I used to grate up a carrot and a courgette and fry in a little bit of butter and garlic (like many others have suggested) and I could honestly sit there and eat it by the handful. Oh yeah... so would Hanny.

| I think as long as you heat it up (as you would with a pizza) you should be right... or just have a vege version. Maybe swap sundried tomatoes for pepperoni?? |
