Yellow Courgettes: A Vibrant and Flavourful Addition!
These unique vegetables are known for their vibrant yellow hue and sweet, mild taste. Unlike their green counterparts, yellow courgettes are less watery, which results in a firmer texture that holds up well in various cooking methods. Their thinner skin means there's no need to peel them, making them convenient and quick to prepare. When spiralised into courgette spaghetti, they offer a beautiful and nutritious alternative to traditional pasta, perfect for those looking to add more vegetables to their diet. Their sweet flavour and pleasing texture make yellow courgettes an ideal ingredient for summer salads, stir-fries and more.
Yellow Courgettes Cooking Suggestions
Sautéing: Slice and sauté with garlic and olive oil until tender and slightly caramelised.
Grilling: Cut into thick slices, brush with olive oil and grill until charred and soft.
Roasting: Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast until golden brown and crispy.
Stir-Frying: Slice thinly and stir-fry with your favourite vegetables and proteins for a quick, healthy meal.
Blanching: Quickly blanch in boiling water and then cool in an ice bath to maintain their vibrant colour and firm texture.
Yellow Courgettes Serving Suggestions
Fresh Herbs: Basil, parsley or mint to enhance their natural sweetness.
Cheese: Feta or goat cheese adds a creamy, tangy contrast to the mild courgettes.
Vegetables: Cherry tomatoes with their juicy sweetness complement the courgettes’ firm texture.
Lemon Zest and Juice: Provides a bright, zesty flavour that highlights the courgettes’ natural taste.
Quinoa or Couscous: A hearty base that absorbs the courgettes' juices and flavours.
Meat or Fish: Grilled chicken or fish is a light protein that pairs well without overpowering the courgettes.
