Get Them While They're Young.

Courgettes or Zucchini  need to have a close eye kept on them once they finally decide now is the right time to produce. Check and pick daily. Approach from all sides to make sure none are lurking out of sight cause they will be marrows in the twinkling of an eye if you let them be. Fritters have to be one of my favourite things to make. ( all types ) So fritters it is with some of these.
 Recipe for Courgette Fritters.
 In a large bowl place : 1/4 cup of polenta ( fine cornmeal ); 2 tsps of Thai spice ( or seasoning of your choice ) add 2 large eggs and mix in.
Grate 2 large or 5 small courgettes then
 1/2 cup grated tasty cheese ( parmesan or cheddar )
( Other ingredients are not necessary but bread crumbs and finely chopped fried onion could be added to extend the mix.)
Place spoonful lots into hot pan; of  shallow olive oil or rice bran oil ( just so they don't stick ) Fry till golden then  turn them over and fry the second side. Place onto a plate cover with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Serve immediately with sweet chilly sauce or whatever you fancy. Nice cold and can be reheated.( can even travel in lunch boxes or to picnics. )
There are many other tasty ways to use your Zucchini supply. from young raw ones to baked or fried . They can be used in a cake like you make carrot cake and in muffins. Don't waste a single one!

 I am making more letters of the alphabet ( to add to the ones I have which can say Happy Christmas  or Cushions ) so various banners can be composed. I will hand sew down the binding and hand quilt these. I like making these . We had fun at Christmas, secretly  changing the message from Happy Christmas to other anagrams using those letters
