Crazy about Courgettes
We are drowning in zucchinis. Sunny days and cool, rainy nights have created the prime conditions for zucchini plants to grow out-of-control, spreading their leaves across the garden and sprouting the largest zucchinis I have ever seen. The cat piss can't even slow them down. Lucky us. We are eating them as fast as we can (lunch and dinner for MW), and there are still more to pick. I've tried sauteeing them in butter, slicing them with caramelized onions and ham, melting cheese on the top. I'm running out of ideas, desperate for recipes. Anyone, anyone?

You should try to make a "zuchini ice cream"...

I tried zucchini bread and it was a disaster.

Hi!
Stumbling on your blog and reading a few posts, I guess this one is the one on which I can add something!
What about some courgettes farcies?
You cut the courgette in two parts, excavate each and stuff them.
The stuff can be made with sausage (chair à saucisse actually) and/or beef, onions, tomatoes, garlic and an egg, added to what you have removed from the courgette. You can also put it the veggie way, replacing meat with cheese (ricotta, fresh goat or sheep (brebis) cheese) and/or lentil (the orange variety, called lentilles corail).

thank you for your recipe! it sounds delicious. i am eager to try it!
now it's tomatoes that are the problem in the garden... we pulled about 10 from the vine yesterday (and that barely makes a dent in how many there are), and decided to make sun-dried tomatoes last night. absolutely delicious.

Tomatoes? No problem! You can stuff them too! Same recipe...
(also you may be bored at a time with stuffed vegetables, but this is not like if there was nothing else to do with tomatoes, right?)
