A brief introductionI prefer the name courgette to zucchini, it seems so much more exotic. It is a member of the same family that marrow, squash, choko and pumpkin belong. In my opinion choko and squash are deathly boring and bland, but courgette is quite delicious. It resembles a small cucumber. The most common are dark green but they can also beyellow and pale green. Courgettes flowers can be eaten.Pick out the glossy, unblemished plants. Available from every greengrocer and supermarket. Store in a plastic bag in the crisper section of the fridge for up to 4 days. |
