This is not a question but an idea to use up courgettes other than making soup.

Slice the courgette into rounds. Make up a mix of garlic powder, breadcrumbs, parmesan, salt and pepper. Dip the courgette rounds into milk, shake then dip into breadcrumb mix, lay on greaseproof paper and pop into a hot oven until golden.
They're really nice and crispy.

Yes, that's what I thought Maydup; any nice recipes you've got?

Right subject sort of but I was answering a question on ideas for cooking courgettes, never mind!
I'd change that a bit...line a baking dish with the courgette rounds. Drizzle over olive oil,add minced garlic and lots of ground pepper or a shake of chilli flakes. Then cover in breadcrumbs and parmesan...bake until golden.
If you are growing them, the flowers are delicious too. Pick and wash them, let them dry. Make a batter using self raising flour and fizzy water, salt and pepper until it is the consistency of thick double cream and dip the flowers in the batter. Shallow-fry in oil, drain and sprinkle with sea-salt. Delicious!
You can also stuff the flowers with chopped courgette, ricotta, pine nuts, parmesan, basil, lemon zest & oregano. Or you can stuff them with white crab meat, chilli and parsley.
Or you can think life's too short to stuff a courgette flower.....
They sound lovely cocc, might give that a whirl in the week for the kids.

Voddie, I've always fancied trying the flowers but I've always been a bit worried they'll be too delicate, I'm assuming they stand up to stuffing okay. ;)
Rocky, I had stuffed courgette flowers many years ago in Greece. I was VERY worried about trying them but they were LOVELY. They were stuffed with rice, lemon juice and chopped red peppers and chopped tomatoes. Absolutely delicious. I don't know if I'd go to the bother and fiddle faddle about doing them myself, but I'm pleased somebody else went to the bother of it all. I love courgettes so thank you to cocci for the recipe idea. xx
Thanks Jan, I might grow some next year then I can have a go.
rocky, I think there may also have been some white wine in the stuffing. Really really lovely.
diddly, don't knock it until you have tried it!

RR, the flowers are my fave part. They are perfect for stuffing ;) xx
Great, both yours and Jan's stuffings sound lovely (except the crab one, bleurgh)
Best recipe for courgettes I know is grate equal amounts of carrot and courgette with a mandolin on the fine setting so matchstick sized. Stirfry in mix of butter/marge and oil.

They somehow go together really well.
Some good ideas on here

I grate up any leftovers and use them either raw on a salad or put them in an ovenproof dish with a knob of butter (garlic butter opt) cover with foil and cook in over for about 20mins. Theyre delicious
