In season for June: Courgette

The arrival of June surely means summer is well on its way, and with it, so many delicious seasonal ingredients. This month, we’re spotlighting the beautifully versatile courgette. From warming bakes to salads, stews and all sorts in between, there’s so much you can do with this vibrant vegetable. You can even grow them at home from seeds indoors, and plant when they’re big enough seedlings. 

We’ve got some handy hints, courgette recipes and inspiration, so you can discover easy ways to celebrate our ingredient of the month.

Store them

Courgettes are best stored in the fridge, ideally in the crisper drawer to help them stay fresh for your next tasty meal. But if you’ve got a few leftover, you can also freeze them – just make sure you cut them lengthways and grill them first.

Cook them

Whether you’re grating, spiralizing, chopping or cutting into ribbons, courgettes can be prepared in many shapes to give colour, variety and excitement to your dishes! With the summer season on the horizon, soups and stews tend to make way for salads and lighter dishes, like our Lemon Dressed Courgette Ribbon Salad with Crushed Walnuts and Pea Shoots. Or, if you fancy a sweet treat, how about making courgette cakes? Try our recipe here.

If you’ve got friends and family coming over for dinner, this Veggie Pizza with Courgette, Red Pepper and Red Onion only takes 30 minutes to prep, and  is great for sharing on warm, sunny evenings.
