We moved to Wales 25 years ago now, to do up an old farmhouse and live a bit of the good life : ) Now needing to downsize though.<br /><br />I still have half a dozen biggish courgettes needing to be used up - must make some chutney I think - as no more room for frozen diced courgette in the freezer. I had a tidy-up in my veg plot a couple of weeks ago and it's now under a pile of muck heap no. 1 for the winter.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-66029637606961126312013-11-06T15:12:22.496+00:002013-11-06T15:12:22.496+00:00That is quite the comparison photo !

This recipe mighty help as the flesh is reduced down with no loss of flavour only being now marrows suggest you definitely removed the seedy inner stuff and probably the outerness of the skin .....http://www.ruthpretty.co.nz/recipes.aspx/Antipasto-Nibbles/zucchini-paste-on-bruschetta. i make it using less oil ...................and it freezes well too.
