i like to cut it into very thin slices (using a potato peeler) add a bit of garlic bit of ginger and some jalapenos lightly fry in olive oil, for a quick healthy snack.

I had an idea that you had no idea that you could eat them raw.

i havent anything particular to go with it..my mum just gave a couple ...im a veggie an doing a low carb diet at the moment so want a few ideas how best to eat it

ive got various other veg too, and cheese so ill probably go for that option

yeh sure mick...

Joko, yes, you could. I add it to salads, or cut in sticks and munch away, and take it to work to nibble on. You could also cut it flat along its length and add a pinch of salt and pepper and grill it. This makes a delicious sandwich filling.

im a veggie


Has it crossed your mind that you should have included that in your op?

[joko]

not really - courgettes have no meat in them
i also eat quorn so any recipe i can substitute it for meat should i want to ...

i was asking for ways to cook it...not particularly what to accompany it...

thanks for your single proper answer

[Mick-Talbot]

was it the best one?

[joko]

actually i did do the slices with a peeler so its a bit like pasta strips, and added garlic

but i fried in butter, added cheese, soy sauce, spinach and philadelphia

very tasty

thanks all

I grow some in the garden in summer. I just top n tail them, thinly slice them lengthways, brush with olive oil and then add salt and pepper then grill for a few minutes.

I sometimes grate it up with grated carrot and mixed into a salad OR
Dice it up and add to a tin of cherry tomatoes and heat through OR
Grate it into an overproof dish, add a knob of garlic butter. Cover with foil and put in oven for about half hour
