Drowning in courgettes, send help

I’m sorry for the quiet spell over here.  I have been on holidays to France and Cornwall (how could I desert the plot?  I know.  But don’t worry, it’s taking its revenge.) but we are back!

And confronted with an ocean of weeds.  And a good-sized puddle of courgettes.  And a hurricane of runner beans (whose idea was it to plant two 12′ rows)?  Ah, the overenthusiasm of spring and inevitable gluttony of summer.

We have eaten our way through courgette lasagne and courgette soup (with pecorino), courgette tart (marinate sliced courgettes in lemon juice, olive oil and tarragon/chives, then arrange on puff pastry, add crumbled feta, and bake until golden) and courgette smoothies.  Okay, I was lying about that last one.  But it doesn’t seem far off.

Tonight we will be testing out courgette carbonara (saw the idea somewhere on the interweb, and ordinary carbonara is a cinch) and chargrilled-veg focaccia on the side.  I have several of the blighters that have actually turned into marrows now.  I think I will keep a couple of these for stuffing tomorrow, as Good Food has a nice chilli-parmesan idea for them.

And I KNOW I’ve seen a recipe for marrow ‘mango’ chutney, but I can’t find it anywhere.  Send help.
