Courgette Recipes
🥦 Welcome to Our Courgette Recipe Collection
Courgettes – Versatile, Vibrant & Farm-Fresh
Courgettes (aka zucchini) are one of summer’s most generous veg – mild, tender, and incredibly easy to use.
Why we love them:
- Grown right here on our regenerative farm in Kilcoole
- Super fresh = better taste and higher nutrient content
- Mild flavour makes them a great base for both savoury & sweet dishes
How to cook courgettes:
- Raw – grate into salads or spiralise into noodles
- Sautéed – fry with garlic, herbs & olive oil
- Grilled – slice lengthways and char for max flavour
- Baked – great in breads, muffins or fritters
- Stuffed – roast with a savoury filling for a hearty main
We’ve included our favourite courgette recipes to help you use every last one — whether you’ve got a single courgette or a full glut!

Courgette Fun Facts!
- Technically a fruit! Courgettes grow from a flower and contain seeds, just like tomatoes and cucumbers.
- Low-calorie & hydrating – they’re over 90% water but still rich in fibre, potassium, and vitamin C.
- Bigger isn’t always better – smaller courgettes tend to be sweeter and more tender.
- Their flowers are edible too! Courgette blossoms can be stuffed and fried for a real treat.
- Also known as zucchini – ‘courgette’ is the French name, while ‘zucchini’ is Italian.
- Grows like mad! A single plant can produce 10–20 courgettes in a season.
- They’ve been to space! NASA has grown courgettes aboard the International Space Station. 🚀
