Jaffrey has a yummy recipe for Okra cooked with black and yellow mustard seeds. Takes 10 minutes max, tastes lovely and retains some crunch.
Wow. Nom nom nom. |

I may be singed as a heretic here, but I like courgettes sauteed, eg with onions etc-they acquire a nutty quality, as I may have done through eating them.

my grips with lettuce aren't to do with taste, rather the fact that no sooner have I brought a head in the door than it's shedding all over the kitchen.  Ah yes, self-shedding lettuce. Nothing worse than a lettuce with no self control  |

When I had more time than sense I used to hollow out courgettes and stuff them with a rice mixture topped with cheese.
Looking back, I wonder why I did.

Now that's the way to deal with a marrow! Worth making a marrow risotto, putting it in the carcass of the marrow, topping it with parmesan and then roasting it. Or you could make a jam out of marrow and ginger (my mum's speciality - nom nom nom). |

Not sure about that mf, it was during my Vegetarian Zealot phase I think! I remember my Mother used to cook (when times were hard and money was not plentiful) stuffed marrow. |

Only time we cooked it (as in my earlier post) was when my parents' courgette crop had gone ballistic.
It was actually quite nice, but I'm not sure that I would want to eat it a lot.

My Mother also made marrow and ginger jam hh!! Marrows are strange fruits, 99% water. No wonder nobody eats them any more. As a family we were heavily into ginger, particularly crystallised and also those jars of it in syrup, we used to eat it with melon. And chocolate covered ginger. Nom Nom Nom (wish I had some now emoticom) |

Ah yes, self-shedding lettuce. Nothing worse than a lettuce with no self control Except a courgette with no self control. It was the act of forgetting about one of these which led MY mum to learn how to make marrow-ginger jam  |

When my boys were still at home we used to have stuffed marrow once a year, as a sort of harvest ritual. Marrows are Harvest Festival vegetables, and look rather nice if they're the stripey ones.  |

Marrow and ginger jam tends to crystallise rather quickly in my experience.
But I still like it. Do you think it would work in rice pudding?
Will snaffle a new jar from my mum's collection when I visit them at Easter (along with a new jar of marmalade and a new jar of rhubarb chutney).

Mmmmm. Jam.
I might have to head over to the what's that burning thread soon.
I (person who can cook but has no outdoor space and don't like gardening anyway) am in discussions with a colleague who has just been given an allotment but can't cook.
I am thinking of investing in a preserving pan.
