Courgette, Mascarpone and Parmesan Tart

Courgette soup. Courgette salad. Fried courgettes. Grilled courgettes. Grated courgettes. Courgette cake. Courgette everything! This year we have a bumper crop of courgettes from our vegetable plot and it is simply amazing how much twelve plants yield.

Every day Neil comes into the kitchen with about 2kg (4 pounds) of these beasts. At first I was delighted but after eating them morning, noon and night I finally gave up.

I’m now known as the kooky courgette lady in the village; always unloading the vegetables on anyone who crosses my path. It is such a shame they don’t freeze well.

Courgette, Mascarpone and Parmesan Tart

To clarify things… In USA courgettes are known as “zucchini” and in South Africa “baby marrow”. Marrows are humungous courgettes that you discover after they have been hiding way too long under the big foliage of the plants and in the meantime increased ten times in size.

Courgette, Mascarpone and Parmesan Tart

If you missed some courgettes in the garden, they turn into marrows. Check out this handy roast marrow recipe that makes an excellent side dish.

    Big fans of courgettes/zucchinis as well. We just tossed them into a tart over the weekend. So good.

    This does look lovely and a great way to use up some zucchini. Twelve plants!!! You did overdo it now didn’t you?

    I was wondering what courgettes were! This dish looks fabulous, I think it’ll be a good way to use left over mascarpone cheese.

    I also made a tart last night, but haven’t posted it. It does not nearly look as good as this one, though!!! I love the addition of mascarpone!!

    This is a super recipe and work well with nearly all veg. I made it a lot (without the garlic) with this years’ asparagus. We have a huge crop of yellow zucchini and the extra sweetness makes it extra good!
